ICYMI: Sara Jacobs Announces Big Local and National Endorsements For Immediate Release: January 16, 2018 Contact: Chelsea Brossard, [email protected] ICYMI: Sara Jacobs Announces Big Local and National Endorsements Sara Jacobs, former Policy Advisor at the State Department and Non-Profit Director running for Congress in California's 49th District, has announced multiple local and national endorsements since launching her campaign just two months ago. Endorsements include EMILY's List and Congressmember Lois Frankel, Chair of the Congressional Democratic Women Working Group, among others. Here's what they had to say about her candidacy: San Diego City Attorney Mara W. Elliott: “Sara is an exceptionally qualified woman who has what it takes to be an effective Member of Congress for our region. Her focus on closing the opportunity gap – which prevents children from getting the education they deserve, families from overcoming the high costs of health care and housing, and our communities from being adequately represented in elected office – will serve our community well. I’m thrilled to throw my full support behind her.” Imperial Beach City Councilmember Mark West: “As a veteran, an environmentalist, and a public servant, I’m thrilled to endorse Sara Jacobs for CA-49,” West said. “Sara and I see eye to eye on the issues and share the same progressive values that called me into public service – protecting our environment while paying special attention to the marginalized communities that are hit the hardest by climate change and environmental injustice, and supporting our service members and veterans and the families who have served and sacrificed alongside us. “As a seasoned policymaker, Sara is uniquely suited to take on the challenges that have dogged Congress for decades – and to put a much-needed focus on how to root out inequality before it becomes a permanent fixture of our economy.” Congressmember Lois Frankel: “In the age of Trump, Sara Jacobs is the perfect antidote. She’s energetic, thoughtful, well spoken, and smart. She’ll be a much-needed new voice in Congress, and her experience in public policy is icing on the cake. While there is so much vitriol coming from the current administration that we have to stand against, Sara gives me hope that voters in Southern California have something and someone to vote for,” Frankel said. “2017 was a difficult year for our country,” she continued, “but it also forced so many important issues into the national spotlight. We’re in the middle of a national reckoning with how we treat women, how we address sexual harassment and assault, how we hold people in power to account, and ultimately, how we change the face of power to better represent our country. We still have a long way to go, but mark my words, 2018 will be the Year of the Woman. I’m excited that Sara will be a part of the seismic shift to come.” EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock: “Sara Jacobs is a passionate, energetic leader who isn’t afraid to tackle big problems. Whether it’s working in key policy positions for the U.S. State Department under the Obama Administration, at UNICEF, and at the United Nations or founding a nonprofit focused on measuring and expanding students’ access to the internet and improving education around the world, Sara will deliver a fresh, new approach to government that creates economic opportunity and works for Southern California families.” “Meanwhile, Congressman Darrell Issa has failed to stand up for Southern Californians, instead voting for President Donald Trump’s agenda 95% of the time. Sara Jacobs brings the expertise and a fresh, new approach that Southern California families deserve from their leaders in Congress - and EMILY’s List is proud to support her.” For more information, please visit www.sarajacobsforca.com. ## Paid for by Sara Jacobs for Congress .

    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.

    2020 Election Recap Below NACCHO summarizes election results and changes expected for 2021. Democrats will continue to lead the House of Representatives…but with a smaller majority. This means that many of the key committees for public health will continue to be chaired by the same members, with notable exceptions of the Appropriations Committee, where Chair Nita Lowey (D-NY) did not run for reelection; the Agriculture Committee, which has some jurisdiction around food safety and nutrition, whose Chair, Colin Peterson (D-MN) lost, as well as the Ranking Member for the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees. The following new Representatives and Senators are confirmed as of January 7. House of Representatives Note: All House of Representative seats were up for re-election.

  • July 20, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Kevin
    July 20, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House House Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives H-232 U.S. Capitol H-204 U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader McCarthy: We write to highlight the urgent need for substantial affordable housing infrastructure investments as part of the broader effort to repair and modernize our nation’s critical infrastructure systems. Without proportional affordable housing investments, there is no path for an equitable recovery and long term financial stability for low and middle income American families. If we fail to act now, our nation’s economic growth will continue to be held back by the over 7 million unit deficit in affordable homes. Our current low affordable housing inventory is a significant driver of higher housing costs, which in turn strains limited federal rental assistance programs. Despite the clear and urgent need, only one in four households who qualify for housing assistance receives it due to decades of chronic underfunding by Congress. Millions of eligible households are currently stuck on waiting lists – often for several years – hoping for help to come sooner. The long wait for help sets families further back year after year. Eight million of the lowest- income renters pay at least half of their income on rent, leaving them without the resources they need to put food on the table, purchase needed medications, or make ends meet. Coronavirus and the compounding effects of explosive wildfires and extreme weather events have made the need for affordable housing more clear than ever in both rural and urban communities.

  • July 1, 2021 the Honorable Joseph R. Biden, Jr. President the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear
    July 1, 2021 The Honorable Joseph R. Biden, Jr. President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Biden, Thank you for your strong leadership as we work together to help the American people recover from the health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The American Rescue Plan provided long overdue aid to our constituents. Now, we must live up to our promise to put millions back to work while rebuilding our infrastructure, expanding access to health care, and improving our nation’s environmental resiliency. In particular, our constituents would benefit economically from the ambitious and much-needed climate action envisioned under the American Jobs Plan. The proposal outlines a popular agenda that involves transforming our energy, transportation and water systems; increasing our nation’s climate resilience; retrofitting schools and buildings with clean energy and efficient technologies; providing clean water to all; and restoring and increasing access to nature. Not only will these components of the plan create jobs in our communities, but they will also at long last catapult our nation’s infrastructure into the 21st century. With this in mind, we want to strongly underscore our support for the following components of the American Jobs Plan as you work towards a final agreement on the package this summer: Driving the United States towards a 100 percent carbon-free energy powered electricity grid, and new cars, buses, and buildings by 2035. The robust ten-year tax title outlined in the Made in America Tax Plan is a critical part of this effort. Complementary policies such as a clean energy and energy efficiency standard, major electric vehicle purchasing, charging infrastructure, manufacturing incentives, and bolstering clean energy research and development are also crucial to this goal.
