Statement from Congresswoman Jacobs on Build Back Better Act
San Diego, CA - Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (D-CA-53) releases the following statement on the Build Back Better Act following Senator Manchin’s comments this morning:
“When I ran for Congress in the midst of this global pandemic, the number one concern I heard from families was child care. I promised them I’d come to Washington and fight to bring down the cost of care and expand tax cuts like the Child Tax Credit that are so meaningful for millions of families across the country and right here in San Diego. And I won’t stop now.
“Extending the Child Tax Credit, child care, health care, lower drug costs, addressing climate change – these priorities are too important to give up on.
“Senator Manchin’s comments are infuriating, but they are not the end. I’m not going to stop fighting for a better future.”
