IN COMMITTEE
I am proud to share that my office has advanced more than $35 million in funding for projects that would directly benefit communities in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. These 15 projects will make our roads safer and more efficient, improve outdoor spaces, provide cost-savings and environmental benefits through sustainability, and bolster protection from crime and national disasters.
It was a dark week on Capitol Hill. Despite 29 straight hours of Democratic opposition and the more than 500 amendments that we introduced, my Republican colleagues recklessly voted last week to take away health care for nearly 14 million Americans through cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act and to slash food assistance for families through cuts to SNAP. Republicans made these cuts to programs that the American people rely on to give the ultrawealthy and giant corporations a tax cut.
