Dear Friends,
The Build Back Better bus tour was great! The tour provided an opportunity for Democrats to engage with people from across the country and discuss the ways in which the Build Back Better agenda is working for America. Our nation is getting back on track, and Democrats are delivering for the people!
Democratic National Committee Chairman, Jaime Harrison praised Democrats, saying, “Thanks to President Biden and Democrats, America is building back better than ever, and the DNC is hitting the road to make sure everybody knows that the ‘D’ in Democrats stands for ‘deliver.”
Since the bus tour began, a Democratic-controlled Congress has tirelessly fought on behalf of the American people. In just a short amount of time, Congress has taken bold action unseen in a generation.
-
The House of Representatives approved the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
-
The House of Representatives took a critical step in advancing President Biden’s plan to build our country back better by voting to advance the budget framework for the $3.5 trillion spending package.
-
The Democratic-led Senate passed an historic infrastructure bill to revitalize and rebuild our country’s roads and bridges.
In contrast, Republicans across the country have vigorously worked to spread misinformation COVID-19, pass anti-voter laws across the country, and even protect the domestic terrorists who stormed our Capitol and tried to overthrow our democracy.
While the bus tour has wrapped up, the work of the Democrats continues. The legislation being passed will be an investment into people, not just projects. Democrats will keep fighting for the Build Back Better agenda delivering for all, not just the few. Progress is being made to:
-
create good-paying jobs
-
make transformative investments in health care child care, and the care economy
-
rebuild our crumbling infrastructure
-
lower prescription drug prices
-
invest in the middle class by cutting taxes for working families
-
tackle the climate crisis
Democrats have formed a broad, diverse coalition in every corner of this nation. We are meeting constituents right where they are and continuing to ensure that every voice is heard. I hope that you will join me in this effort.
In this email, you will find ways to support. Help us make progress by keeping Democrats in a position to make change, particularly in California. Share out information about the upcoming California recall and keep the Golden State on the right path. Please also help us highlight local issues by telling us your story.
