Jan's Plans & Pans - July 31, 2024

There is no doubt in my mind that President Joe Biden will go down in history as one of the most consequential presidents of all time. In his one term in office, President Biden created more jobs than any previous administration in the same time span. He lowered prescription drug prices and capped insulin for Medicare beneficiaries at $35 a month. He made the largest ever investment in our climate. He fought for every American – he advocated for workers’ rights, and championed LGBTQ+ and women’s rights. I thank President Biden for his decades of unrelenting service. Now, we must decide what kind of future we want for our children and grandchildren. I encourage everyone to make their voices heard!

I was supposed to be in Washington D.C. this week voting, but GOP leaders sent us home early because they did not have enough votes to pass our annual spending bills. The original goal was to have all 12 spending bills completed by this week, but, we have only passed four because extremists are bent on inserting poison pill policies that would do things like restrict gender-affirming care and reproductive care. We must put the best interests of the American people first.

Be sure to stay tuned for my latest updates. I am looking forward to seeing so many of you around the 9th District in the coming weeks!
