John,

I was proud to cast my vote for the Build Back Better Act on Friday to
save lives.

For months, my progressive colleagues and I have been working to get this
done and fulfill President Biden's agenda. No matter what tricks
conservative Democrats tried to play or what the media said, we held the
line. And when Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Trump's
Republican cronies tried to block the bill, we never faltered.

Throughout the late nights and early mornings, I never lost sight of the
people this bill would benefit. The single mothers who would gain
necessary help with childcare. The folks who no longer would need to
ration their food in order to afford insulin. The home care workers who
would finally see wages that more closely match the dignity of their work.

John, this is
about so much more than insider politics and CBO scores. This work is
about our children, our elders, our parents, our families, our
communities, and our planet.

For years, St. Louis has had to accept only "crumbs" from Congress. It's
why families have struggled to keep their homes, children have gone to bed
hungry, and why folks have gone bankrupt trying to afford their health
care bills.

No more. I came to Congress to do the most for everyone, starting with
those who have the least. And I won't accept anything less than the world
for our St. Louis community, because I know that when we deliver
transformative policies, the sky is not even our limit.

Now, I promise to continue working until this bill is signed into law by
President Biden. The Build Back Better Act now heads to the Senate where
conservative Democrats Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have delayed this
bill at every given opportunity.

I will do everything in my power to make sure the full Build Back Better
Act is signed into law, but it's going to take a widespread, grassroots
effort to show Manchin and Sinema that we won't accept anything less.

anything you can so we can continue moving mountains, push for the urgent
policies our communities need, and ensure Senate passage of the Build Back
Better Act. The people must win.

Your Congresswoman loves you,

Cori
