2023 got off to a rocky start – both for Duke basketball and in Congress... However, I remain as committed as ever to getting things done for San Diegans.
My fellow Democrats and I are hard at work continuing to fight climate change, implementing the landmark progress we enacted last year, and tackling ongoing challenges facing our communities, like affordable health care, housing, immigration, and more.
Read the full update below for more details about our work so far this year, and make sure to follow the campaign on
Facebook,
Twitter, and
Instagram to stay up-to-date.
I’m looking forward to what this year will bring!
As always, I’m grateful to have your support.

Scott knows that environmental protection and energy security can’t wait – that’s why he’s leading this fight.
