Scott's Priorities
The work isn’t done.
Here’s what Scott has delivered and what he’s ready to tackle next.
Here’s what Scott has delivered and what he’s ready to tackle next.
San Diego is one of the most expensive places in America to buy a home, and too many families are getting priced out. The other end of the same crisis is on our sidewalks. This year, Scott co-led a bipartisan law that scraps a 50-year-old rule holding back affordable homebuilding. His earlier law lets nonprofits put federal homelessness money to work directly, and he's fought to get homeless veterans off the street and into homes.
Nobody should have to choose between a prescription and groceries. Scott’s plan laid the groundwork for Medicare drug-price negotiation, $35 insulin and a cap on what seniors pay for medicine. He’s also fought to get more San Diegans into addiction treatment and mental health care, close to home.
For years, sewage pouring across the border has shut down beaches in Imperial Beach and Coronado and made people sick, including Navy SEALs who train in that water. Scott and San Diego’s delegation in Congress went after the money to fix it, and got it: $650 million, enough to fully repair and expand the South Bay plant that treats the sewage on our side of the border. Work is underway on both sides, and every phase that wraps up means cleaner water.
Climate change isn't abstract here. It's wildfire smoke, crumbling bluffs and rising seas. Scott works with both parties to cut pollution and build clean energy, and to get San Diego ready for what's already coming.
San Diego is home to one of the biggest military and veteran communities in the country, and the Navy, the shipyards and the defense industry put food on a lot of tables here. Scott has fought to steer more Navy repair work to local shipyards, expanded GI Bill benefits for Purple Heart recipients and helped get homeless veterans into housing. Keeping promises to people who served is the floor, not a talking point.
From the biotech labs in Torrey Pines to the working waterfront, San Diego's economy runs on smart people and hard work. Scott fights for the research dollars, defense work and infrastructure money that keep those jobs here.
Strong public schools, college people can afford, and job training that matches the jobs San Diego is actually creating.
Reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ equality and the right to vote. There's a reason Planned Parenthood, Equality California and HRC all endorsed him.
A border that's secure and a system that works, including a real path for Dreamers and the workers San Diego's economy depends on.
Knock doors, make calls, put up a yard sign. From here to Nov. 3, every hour counts.
