Secretary Xavier Becerra will make California proud at the Dept. of Health & Human Services

California Democratic leaders are working hard to help every person across the nation recover from the COVID-19 crisis. That’s why today’s confirmation of Xavier Becerra to lead the Department of Health and Human Services is critical to reimagining and rebuilding a public health system for all.

Becerra has always been at the forefront – fighting for underserved communities, healthcare and justice. He took on the Trump administration and their agenda to roll back protections for workers, he defended the Affordable Care Act against Republican attempts to end it and he has always held strong to protecting women’s health. As the first Latino to helm the Dept of HHS, he has been and will continue to be a stalwart champion for reimagining and rebuilding a more equitable health care system that meets the needs of the people.

We know that the road to recovery won’t be an easy one. However, when California Democrats are in leadership roles, we put the people first!

Fighting for the people is a continuous action and we need you by our side. So will you join California Democrats in fighting the good fight?

Onward!

California Democrats stand in solidarity to stop AAPI hate

Mar 17, 2021 | Act Now!, News, Party News

Only through our unity can we uplift and empower the voices of our AAPI Sisters, Brothers, and Siblings.

Today, our nation mourns the senseless loss of eight lives during a mass shooting in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Our hearts go out to the families and friends impacted by this unspeakable tragedy.

As we’ve witnessed the rise of hate crimes against the AAPI community, there has been so much grief, pain, and fear. Dismantling the racism, discrimination, and xenophobia in our country requires all of us. Only through our unity can we uplift and empower the voices of our AAPI Sisters, Brothers, and Siblings.

In solidarity, the California Democratic Party is standing together to stop AAPI hate.

What I’ve Been Working On For You

Mar 15, 2021 | News

News from Representative Costa

Dear Friend,

Now that we’re a couple months into the 117^th Congress, I wanted to update you on some legislation I am working on the help the Valley:

Expanding health care access

Access to quality healthcare in the San Joaquin Valley is a serious issue that can no longer be ignored. We simply do not have enough doctors for our growing population, a problem only made worse by the coronavirus pandemic. I introduced a bill to make a significant investment in training medical professionals who want to stay and serve our community by building a medical school in the Valley. Growing our own doctors is the only way to confront this doctor shortage and improve access to healthcare for everyone in the Valley and other regions that are underserved.

President Biden recently announced a new special enrollment period to increase access to affordable health insurance while we continue to fight the pandemic. You can explore options and sign up here until May 15th, 2021.

Improving water storage

I’m working on legislation that would make significant investments in our Valley’s aging water infrastructure, including repairs to the Delta-Mendota Canal, the Friant-Kern Canal, and the California Aqueduct. As we face another dry year in California, it’s critical that we improve the resiliency of these important waterways to ensure the future sustainability of our state.

Grant winners

As we face another dry year in California, I wanted to inform you of the recent $957,824 WaterSMART grant Merced Irrigation District received to enhance their ability to manage existing water supplies and to increase water storage. I advocated for Merced to receive these important federal resources and fight to include funding for this program in our annual government funding legislation.

Completing High Speed Rail

High speed rail is taking shape before our eyes in the Valley – a project that will improve air quality, lift up impoverished communities and link the Valley economy to international business hubs in Los Angeles and San Francisco. I introduced a bill to provide $32 billion to fund high-speed rail projects across the country, including here in California.

Testing matters

Testing is key to containing the spread of this virus. All three counties have free testing available for residents. Do not wait until you have symptoms – get tested anytime you think you’ve been exposed and help stop the spread.

California Democratic Party commits $250,000 to Stop the Republican Recall Campaign

Mar 15, 2021 | Act Now!, News

California Democratic Party stands prepared to organize and fight back against any scheme to disrupt and divide Californians.

California Democrats won’t back down.

That’s why today, the California Democratic Party (CADEM) announced a contribution of $250,000 to fight against the Republican led effort to recall Governor Gavin Newsom.

“The California Democratic Party unequivocally opposes the Republican attempt to recall Governor Gavin Newsom,” stated Rusty Hicks, Chair of CADEM. “The Republican National Committee, wealthy Trump donors and right-wing extremists have joined forces to disrupt California’s road to recovery. Despite the efforts by the GOP to take us back to some of our darkest days, CADEM is prepared to mobilize our grassroots people power and make it clear to voters that the Democratic Party is the only party focused on protecting the health and safety of all Californians and their families,” continued Hicks.

The Stop the Republican Recall campaign is a diverse coalition made up of Democrats and prominent progressives including Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Alex Padilla, Senator Cory Booker, Congressmember Ro Khanna, Congresswoman Katie Porter, and Stacey Abrams.

“Rather than supporting California’s pandemic recovery, Republicans are choosing to shift the focus and attention away from those who need it most. Sadly, chaos is the playbook for the Republican Party – and it’s time for Democrats to unite to forcefully reject the Republican recall of our Governor,” Hicks continued.

Join us in getting our pro-science, pro-working families message out to 10 million plus CA Democrats. We can out-organize and out-mobilize the conservative dark money donors looking to swamp CA with their attacks & lies.
