Friend --
Middle class families deserve a break. That's why I proudly voted for the Build Back Better Act.
For too long, families have struggled to keep up with the costs of child care or caring for an elderly parent. Folks can't afford the price of health care, prescription drugs, and housing. Wages have stagnated for the workers who care for our seniors and people living with disabilities. And the threat of climate change has become impossible to ignore, and it's damaging our infrastructure and hurting our communities.
Congress can, and should, address these challenges that keep us all up at night. It's time to recognize that we need a "new normal." It's time to Build Back Better.
The Build Back Better Act will...
...Lower costs for families by saving most working American families more than half of their spending on child care. The bill provides FREE universal Pre-K for all 3 and 4-year-olds, permanently improves Medicaid coverage for home care services for seniors and people with disabilities, caps the price of prescription drugs for seniors, and lowers premiums for health care.
...Ensure people have economic opportunities. The bill includes my bipartisan legislation, the RECOMPETE Act, to empower communities to develop their local economies and create jobs. The bill also makes the largest and most comprehensive investment in affordable housing in history.
...Take critical action to combat the climate crisis. The bill includes investments to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and accelerate the transition to clean energy. It includes a new Civilian Climate Corps to conserve our public lands and bolster community resilience. It advances environmental justice and invests in coastal restoration, forest management, and soil conservation.
And much, much more, friend! The Build Back Better Act is a promise that our federal government will do a better job of protecting workers and communities so that no one gets left behind. This legislation is about ensuring people have economic opportunity regardless of what zip code they live in -- period.
I'm proud we passed this historic legislation through the House. But as always, we aren't finished yet! There's much more Congress can do to help strengthen our economy and help working families make ends meet, and I'll keep fighting for you every step of the way.
As always, it's an honor to represent you,
Derek
