I’ll cut right to the chase.
My opponent claimed that our new law, the Inflation Reduction Act, will raise taxes for everyday Americans. That is false. This law will only make sure the wealthiest Americans, who’ve too often avoided paying taxes in the past, will finally pay their fair share.
The Inflation Reduction Act is a landmark victory. This is the first real investment the U.S. has made in fighting climate change in years. And it will lower the cost of essential prescription drugs as well.
Now, I need to hear from you: Do you support our efforts over the last few weeks to improve the lives of working families? I need your input in the next 48 hours to plan for September’s return to Washington.
Democrats have had one of the most productive sessions in Congress in decades since regaining a slim majority. We’ve passed not only the IRA into law, but:
- CHIPS Act — I’m an original cosponsor of this now-law which not only creates more jobs in semiconductor manufacturing, but increases our competitiveness on the global stage in science and technology.
- Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — The first law to protect Americans from gun violence to pass in nearly 30 years, it adds incentives for states to pass red flag laws, expands background checks, and expands laws that prevent domestic abusers from owning a gun.
- Bipartisan Infrastructure Act — This law adds new jobs in modernizing our roads, bridges, and more. It also invests in electric vehicles and replaces lead pipes.
- American Rescue Plan — This is what lifted us out of the main parts of the pandemic, getting shots in arms and checks in the hands of millions of working families.
I’ve also introduced the End Tuberculosis Now Act in the House—because with the pandemic impacting health systems, about 1.5 million people worldwide have died of tuberculosis just in 2020—and I will continue fighting to codify marriage equality and access to contraceptives.
I need to hear your input, please take my poll right away to share your thoughts on the IRA and all the other great work Democrats are doing and inform my work after the recess →
Be well,
Ami Bera
