Dear John,

Every day I hear from constituents in Sacramento County about the struggles they are facing. From rising living costs to affordable and accessible health care, it’s clear that the Americans need support. 

That's why I wanted to provide you with a few updates on the recent work I have been doing throughout Sacramento and in Washington, DC  to support local families.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact my office with thoughts, suggestions, and feedback. I work to incorporate your voice into the work we do every single day. 

Be well,

Ami Bera M.D.
Member of Congress

Visiting Single Mom Strong Inc.

I had the opportunity to visit with leaders from Single Mom Strong, Inc., a Citrus Heights-based nonprofit that empowers local single mothers and children through enrichment, encouragement, and educational programs.

In Congress, I’m fighting to get more resources to our nation’s families and children. 

American Rescue Plan Act at work in Citrus Heights!

I recently met with members of the Citrus Heights Beatification Crew, who are working to keep our communities safe, clean, and free of trash and litter. Funding for the Beautification Crew was made possible through the American Rescue Plan which I was proud to help vote into law.

Today, in recognition of World Tuberculosis Day, I joined Representative María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) to reintroduce the End Tuberculosis Now Act of 2023, bipartisan legislation to strengthen U.S. efforts to eliminate tuberculosis (TB) worldwide.

As a doctor, I have seen firsthand the devastating impact that tuberculosis has on families and communities in the United States and around the world. Despite important progress we have made in the fight against TB, it remains one of the world’s leading infectious disease killers, claiming the lives of 1.6 million people in 2021 – more than HIV and malaria combined.

The End TB Now Act of 2023 directs the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to align U.S. tuberculosis control efforts with goals established by the international community to help eradicate tuberculosis once and for all.
