Friend?--
In 2020, Democrats across the country
made a promise. We were going to deliver for working families by
passing transformative legislation that would:
- Support the care economy by funding
universal preschool and home- and community-based
services;
- Invest in education, workforce
development and affordable housing;
- Lower healthcare costs by reducing
prescription drug prices and negotiating lower drug costs for
seniors;
- Fight climate change by lowering
emissions and creating good-paying jobs.
And, as of Friday, the House
kept that promise by passing the Build Back Better
Act.
This is a historic,
once-in-a-generation investment in working families, and I couldn't be
prouder of it. And it would be all of these things if it stood on its
own -- but it doesn't.
Before we passed Build Back Better,
we passed a massive investment in roads, bridges, airports, public
transportation, clean water, broadband access, green technology, and
more as a part of the infrastructure framework. And before that, we
passed the American Rescue Plan, which got hundreds of millions of
shots in arms, provided millions with rent and mortgage relief,
supported small businesses, and slashed childhood poverty.
In the course of 11 months, Democrats
just reshaped America. We made three historic, generational
investments in the middle-class. And we did it after Republicans
failed for years to do the same.
This is a massive win for the
American people, but I want to make sure you know how much you own
this win. We could not have passed any of this legislation if it
weren't for the calls you made, the doors you knocked, and the work
you did to support Democrats across the country. Thank you, from the
bottom of my heart, for fighting alongside us as hard as you
did.
While
today we're going to celebrate this win, tomorrow we have to get back
to work. With midterms less than a year away, there's no time to
waste. If you'd like to help us hold the House, I'd appreciate
it.
Thank you, Ted
