Mimi Walters 8001 Irvine Center Drive, #400 Irvine, CA 92618 Walters for Congress and Jen Slater, Treasurer 8001 Irvine Center Drive, #400 Irvine, CA 92618 COMPLAINT This complaint is filed under 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(1) against Rep. Walters, Walters for Congress (the "Federal Committee"), and Jen Slater, in her official capacity as Treasurer (collectively, "Respondents") for violating the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the "Act") and Federal Election Conunission (the "FEC" or "Commission") regulations, as described below. Rep. Walters appears to have illegally used her state campaign funds—^which may have included corporate money and contributions in excess of federal limits—to aid her 2014 campaign for Congress. Using California state campaign funds in a federal election undermines the Act's anti-corruption purpose of limiting contributions and keeping corporate money out of congressional elections, and the FEC should iirunediately investigate and levy appropriate sanctions against Respondents for these apparent violations.

    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

  • Doctors & Members of Congress Letter to Leadership
    December 3, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: We urgently request that you address the impending cuts in the CY21 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule in any legislation moving through the House before the end of the year in an effort to avert yet another health care crisis. This week, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the CY21 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final rule. We appreciate the increased payments in the PFS to physicians delivering primary care and complex office-based care. Unfortunately, due to the budget neutral nature of the fee schedule, many specialists will now encounter severe reimbursement cuts starting on January 1, 2021. Health care providers have faced extensive challenges during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Following the COVID-19 public health emergency declaration, the U.S. Surgeon General and CMS urged the cancellation of all “non-essential” medical procedures. As some of our providers faced COVID-19 on the front lines, others were told to suspend the services that comprise most of their revenue. Health care providers are now facing financial distress that may lead to office closures or reduced staffing nationwide due to unprecedented low patient volumes. This will dramatically limit patient access to care during the public health emergency and beyond. Physician Members of Congress reached across the aisle to develop bipartisan solutions to address these upcoming reimbursement cuts, which would provide stability for health care providers as they respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    May 6, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representative Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles E. Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader U.S. Senate U.S. Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader McCarthy, and Minority Leader Schumer, We write to request increased funding for the National Guard in any future relief package to ensure that our Service Members can continue supporting food banks through the duration of this emergency. Since the onset of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the National Guard has become a lifeline to food banks across the country, helping package and distribute food to meet unprecedented levels of need. Such federal funding will help ensure that our food banks continue to provide those in our communities with a reliable source of food. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, one in eight American households struggled to put food on the table. With unemployment currently at a record high as a result of the pandemic, the incidence of food hardship is increasing at a staggering rate. Around 95 percent of the food banks in the Feeding America network have reported a 70 percent increase in demand since the pandemic began. At the same time, food banks are dealing with temporary shortages in several food products and a steep decline in willing and able volunteers. Thankfully, both state and federal governments have taken steps to help mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our food insecure communities.

Teresa Leger Fernandez (NM-3) Washington, DC 20301 Freshman Representative Members Dear Secretary Austin and Members of the Renaming Commission: Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA-31) Rep. Salud Carbajal (CA-24) As Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), we write to you as a follow up to our Rep. Tony Cárdenas (CA-29) previous letter concerning your historic task of renaming nine Department of Defense (DoD) Rep. Joaquin Castro (TX-20) Army installations. The CHC strongly believes that greater diversity and representation must Rep. Lou Correa (CA-46) Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) extend to the installations and facilities that our servicemembers call home. The CHC's advocacy Rep. Jim Costa (CA-16) is focused in particular on ensuring that Ft.

Veronica Escobar (TX-16) Rep. Ruben Gallego (AZ-07) While the CHC's first recommendation is to rename Ft. Hood after Master Sergeant Roy Rep. Sylvia R. Garcia (TX-29) Benavidez, the CHC understands that MSG Benavidez's background in special forces makes Ft. Rep. Jesús G. "Chuy" García (IL-04) Bragg a stronger fit.
