Hey there —
It’s officially Spring! The days are getting longer, the
leaves are getting greener, and we’re now in the heart of
election season. The California primary is in less than two
months – I’ll need to reach tens of thousands of new voters for
the very first time before then.
From San Diego to Washington DC, I've been working hard to
represent our district and stand up for our values. I look
forward to continuing to make progress for all of our
communities.
Below you’ll find information on what’s been happening in
Congress and in San Diego. You can also follow me on Facebook

timely updates. Thank you for everything you’ve done to support
my campaign. So much of this work could not be done without you.
All my best,
— Scott
Standing Up for What’s Right
Scott’s committed to standing up for all of us in Congress.
From climate action and reproductive rights to gun violence
prevention and LGBTQ+ equality – Scott is leading the fight for
progress.
Grassroots organizations know that Scott is the right leader
for San Diego. That’s why he was endorsed by the California
Democratic Party, the League of Conservation Voters, and Planned
Parenthood. And Scott was recognized as a Moms Demand Action Gun
Sense Candidate and received a 100% scorecard from Equality
California!

Clean Manufacturing
ICYMI: The Biden administration recently announced bold
actions to boost clean manufacturing and strengthen American
efforts to combat the climate crisis – including the
implementation of Scott’s USEIT Act!
These actions will grow our economy, create good-paying
American jobs, lower prices for working families, boost U.S.
competitiveness on the global stage, and advance climate action
and environmental justice. This includes the USEIT Act, which
promotes the research and development of carbon capture and
storage technologies.
Lowering the Cost of Insulin
The House passed the Affordable Insulin Now Act – a critical
piece of legislation that Scott was proud to co-sponsor. It will
cap out-of-pocket costs for insulin at $35 per month, ensuring
affordable access to this life-saving medication. This bill was
modeled after provisions he helped negotiate in the Build Back
Better Act, and it’s a solid first step toward lowering all
prescription drugs prices. Insulin is needed by more than 37
million Americans with diabetes – that’s why Scott pushed hard
for this bill’s passage.

STANDUP Act
Scott’s STANDUP Act has passed both chambers of Congress and
was signed into law by President Biden! This critical piece of
legislation will provide schools with evidence-based suicide
prevention and awareness training to help students and educators
identify warning signs and intervene when students are at risk of
harming themselves or others. We’ve seen an alarming rise in
mental health challenges among our students – that’s why Scott is
so focused on keeping all of our students safe.

MORE Act
The House passed the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and
Expungement (MORE) Act. This legislation will reform outdated
laws by decriminalizing marijuana at the federal level and
expunging all non-violent federal marijuana criminal offenses
from an individual’s record. If signed into law, this bill will
be a step toward righting the wrongs of this country’s war on
drugs, and will remove barriers to studying the safety and
efficacy of cannabis – including research being done at UC San
Diego’s Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research.

History Made on the Supreme Court
Scott was thrilled to see Ketanji Brown Jackson make history
as the first Black woman and the first public defender confirmed
to the U.S. Supreme Court. This is a long-overdue milestone for
the Court, and we look forward to everything Justice Jackson will
surely accomplish for our democracy.

Advocating for San Diego Priorities
Scott led San Diego’s congressional delegation in a series of
events held by the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce in DC.
They discussed our top priorities like strengthening our local
economy and investing in our infrastructure.
Scott also met with staff from the San Diego County Water
Authority to discuss California’s drought and how we can maintain
our water supply. He’s committed to ensuring our communities have
access to clean water no matter the environmental conditions.
