Jobs are my number one priority, and that’s why I am fighting for a jobs plan in Congress that invests infrastructure, energy and drives down the high cost of living. My plan puts people to work now, puts our economy on solid ground for years to come.
One of the best ways to grow our economy is to put Americans to work fixing our roads, overpasses, ports and bridges. I was successful in helping pass the largest investment in infrastructure in 50 years. This funding for roads and bridges, rail and ports, and public water systems is paying huge dividends for our economic future. I am fighting to preserve this hard fought victory from political threats to investments in California's infrastructure from the Administration.
I also authored the largest clean energy and energy efficiency climate that has ever been signed into law. This law was lowering prices for consumers, driving hundreds of billions of investments, and creating hundreds of thousands of U.S. clean energy jobs. The Big Ugly Law ended many of the clean energy tax provisions, and I'm fighting to restore them.
The high cost of living is the number one economic issue facing Americans. I am leading the effort in Congress to address the high cost of living that has been turbocharged by the pandemic and the Administration's tariff war. From housing and energy costs to food, childcare and education costs, I am leading a comprehensive approach to bring down the cost of living and make our economy work for the American people.
