[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Congress

John,

We’re all seeing our expenses go up–at the gas station, in the grocery
store, and when picking up a prescription. But rising costs aren’t new.
They’ve been increasing for years, as greedy Big Oil and Big Pharma
companies go unchecked and serious flaws in our system allow things like
college, childcare, and housing to cost more and more.

That’s why I spent much of 2021 fighting to pass the Build Back Better
Act, a comprehensive piece of legislation that would have lowered the cost
of things like prescription drugs and childcare and would have really
helped families.

Because of Republican (and some Democrats) opposition in the Senate, it
never became law.

But just because Congress couldn’t get it done doesn’t mean families
stopped dealing with these issues. If Congress can’t tackle a problem one
way, then we need to try another way.

That’s why the Congressional Progressive Caucus just released a list of
executive orders that we’re urging the Biden Administration to enact. By
signing executive orders that will lower the cost of things like
healthcare, reduce fossil fuel dependence, and forgive student loan debt,
we can put more money into working people’s pockets and strengthen our
economy. [ [link removed] ]Sign on to my petition to show your support.

I was elected to Congress to make life better for Orange County families.
Just because our initial legislation to lower costs didn’t become law,
does not mean I’ve stopped seeing the problem or am giving up.

Thanks for being a part of Team Porter, your support helps fuel my work!

Katie
