Yesterday, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law, a landmark piece of legislation that will fight inflation, help lower health care, prescription drug, and energy costs, and make our tax code fairer.
What’s more, the Inflation Reduction Act will represent the single largest climate investment in American history. It’s a big deal.
In the Assembly, I created OneShoreline through legislation, bringing all levels of government together in San Mateo County to fight sea level rise, and I helped pass the largest climate action package in California history, a massive $15 billion investment to address wildfires, droughts, sea level rise, and carbon emissions.
Together, we’ve made California the national leader on climate policy, and we’re only getting started. In Congress, I’ll be ready on Day One to build on this record of results that make a difference in addressing the climate crisis, so that we leave a cleaner and healthier planet for our children.
