The crucial vote on the Inflation Reduction Act will include a $4 billion investment aimed at addressing the current drought, which has been recognized as the most severe in 12 centuries.
Today, I'm going to cast my vote to lower the cost of prescription drugs, tackle the climate crisis, and make big corporations pay their fair share in taxes. It's time to put people over politics and make a real difference for the future. With hard work and dedication, we can achieve our goals and create a better world for all. Let's get started!
The Inflation Reduction Act will reduce costs for seniors, with my provision to cap out-of-pocket costs at $2k. It will lower energy costs, a major driver of inflation. And my bill, the HOME Act would lower housing costs and ensure you get a fair shot to buy a home.
I am in strong support of H.R. 5118, the wildfire response in this year's appropriation bill. It's great to hear that we secured six million dollars for Lake Mead and the Las Vegas wash program to directly address the falling water levels. This legislation, the wildfire response and resiliency act, will further address some of the issues being caused by this heat and drought.
It is important to understand the current economic situation in which we find ourselves. After more than a decade of historically low-interest rates, practically at zero, corrections are now being made. This is not just a problem in the United States, but a global issue related to inflation.
The upcoming vote in Congress is crucial. This legislation is an essential resource in our mission to replenish our water basins and reservoirs and ultimately restore our valuable water resources like Lake Mead. We must take this necessary step to ensure that our communities and future generations have enough water.
As a representative of Nevada's fourth congressional district, I have witnessed the severe impact of the pandemic on our hospitality and tourism industry. Although it's encouraging to see more people returning to work, there are still several obstacles to overcome. The lack of affordable childcare is one of the most pressing issues, which is disproportionately affecting women and families.
