Since January 20, too many of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Republicans' actions have only served to break our government and hurt the American people. If you’ve been affected, please share your story here to help me best represent San Diego in Congress. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Republicans passed their disastrous tax plan and now countless Americans are losing their jobs. We’ll also face higher electricity costs and more blackouts due to less energy supply. They must answer for putting tax cuts for the wealthy before the needs of struggling Americans.
Mass layoffs in the US power sector begin following the Big Beautiful Bill: -20% RIF yesterday at New Leaf Energy -15% RIF today at Pine Gate Renewables -Enel suggesting potential exit from US renewable market More likely to come, along with project delays and cancellations
America prides itself on great accomplishments. Today, red tape at every level of government is slowing us down. I founded the Build American Caucus because we need to put the American Dream back within reach for so many. Read more ⬇️ sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/07/11/opi…

Planned Parenthood is a lifeline for women seeking all types of healthcare. President Trump’s cruel efforts to defund it will have devastating consequences. The court’s decision is an encouraging step in our fight to protect Planned Parenthood. apnews.com/article/planne…
Today, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin held a news conference to announce that the United States and Mexico have signed a new memorandum of understanding that further commits Mexico to completing the projects agreed to in the Minute 328 Treaty. I very…
Our servicemembers were illegally charged overdraft fees and are owed millions of dollars. President Trump is protecting bad actors over victims without giving any explanation. This is not how we should be treating the men and women who serve our country.
Navy Federal Credit Union will no longer have to refund $80 million to servicemen and women for illegally charging them overdraft fees on their accounts. The President Trump-led Consumer Financial Protection Bureau moved to dismiss the case. apnews.com/article/navy-f…
We can’t afford to wait to combat the climate crisis or build the clean energy of the future. As Co-Chair of the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, I’ll advance policies to strengthen our economy, cut red tape, and boost our role as a global leader on climate solutions.

President Trump’s attack on science and efforts to defund scientific research is pushing away our brain power and will allow other nations to make cutting-edge discoveries instead of us. It’s senseless and wrong.
A French university says almost 300 U.S. researchers have applied for its "Safe Place for Science" program, seeking "scientific asylum" amid Trump's academic funding cuts. cbsn.ws/44nLGJ5
The same Grok that was re-trained and recently made antisemitic, deeply disturbing comments praising Hitler will now be involved in our national security operations at the Pentagon. How is this a safe, smart use of taxpayer money?
The Pentagon has signed on to use Grok, the AI chatbot built by Elon Musk's company xAI, as part of a new $200 million agreement. cbsn.ws/4eYRpbZ
Congress allocated these funds to our schools for after-school programs, academic enrichment, and teacher development. President Trump is withholding these funds, leaving our schools on the hook for millions and our kids with less tools to learn and grow. voiceofsandiego.org/2025/07/08/tru…
Last week, Team Peters attended a celebration to open the new turf field at Rancho Bernardo Community Park. The revitalized space supports fun activities like futsal, leisure play, and family recreation. This summer is the perfect time to enjoy this beautiful addition in RB!
I will continue talking about how Republicans’ tax plan will hurt communities in San Diego. Last week, I spoke with the San Diego Veterans Coalition about how the bill takes healthcare and food away from vets, as well as how we can support veterans’ mental health.
Happy Pride, San Diego! I can’t wait to celebrate with you and I will always stand with you as an ally in the ongoing fight for full equality. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

“Part of the American dream is that our kids will do better than we will,” @RepScottPeters said. “The American dream is opportunity. It’s not just opportunity for people my age, it’s opportunity for people in their 20s and 30s too.” kpbs.org/news/politics/…
New Dems have laid out a comprehensive plan to build the clean energy infrastructure we need to power the economy, lower prices, and cut red tape. We’ve seen America do big things throughout history. Let’s meet this moment too with urgency and innovation. axios.com/pro/energy-pol…
