Dear John,

As we prepare to enter 2023, I wanted to reflect on some of the important work that we accomplished together this past year.

My office has heard from thousands of constituents, returned over $4 million to local taxpayers, secured funding for local community projects, and passed legislation to lower costs for American families.

Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year.

Hearing from Constituents

One of my biggest priorities in Congress is recovering money for hardworking Sacramento County families and small businesses.  

This year, my office helped recover over $4.5 million for local taxpayers.

Please know that my office is here to help you with stalled tax refunds, backlogged veteran's benefits, Medicare issues, and more. Please call us at (916) 635-0505 or visit bera.house.gov/get-help - we'd be honored to help you, too. 

Funding for Community Projects

As your congressman, one of my most important jobs is making government work for you. That's why I was proud to support the Appropriations Committee's Community Project Funding (CPF) process that allows members of Congress to use their knowledge of the communities they represent to recommend funding for qualified, high-quality community projects in their congressional districts.

This year, I proudly secured $32,787,591 in federal funding to support 15 local Sacramento-area projects, including infrastructure upgrades in Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova, construction of a new groundwater well in Carmichael, supporting public safety programs in Citrus Heights, and much more.

These investments will help build a brighter and stronger future for Sacramento County families.
