WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Nanette Barragán secured $13,357,031 for 14 community projects that provide safe drinking water, improve infrastructure, support electric vehicle car share programs, and build supportive housing in communities throughout California’s 44th Congressional District. The project funding was included in the government funding package signed into law March 11 by President Joe Biden.
House Democrats were able to preserve key investments for their priorities, despite attempts by extreme House Republicans to slash funding for housing, environmental programs, and food assistance. Democrats were able to fully fund the WIC food assistance program, which helps low-income nursing mothers, new moms, and their children afford nutritious food and prevented the inclusion of harmful policies that would have banned mail-order mifepristone, the abortion pill, and the inclusion of anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-DEI policies.
