Joined my @energycommerce colleagues to highlight our accomplishments from 2019. We've worked to curb climate change, improve access to health care, and hold the Trump Administration accountable. #progressforthepeople https://ift.tt/2Q4zzJv

Today is a solemn day. I voted to impeach President Donald Trump, consistent with my oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. It's a tragedy my Republican colleagues will not speak up for rule of law and against presidential abuse of power. History will judge them harshly. by Congressman Scott Peters

Met with Shinichi Iida, Minister for Economic Affairs at the Japan Embassy to discuss the global climate crisis and the need for American leadership. He agrees the world is looking to the United States to do our part to reduce emissions and act on climate. https://ift.tt/35AUV85

In our nation's history, thousands have gone into battle to fight for our democracy. In contrast, my Republican colleagues will not speak up for rule of law or against presidential abuse of power. That's the tragedy of today's events. History will judge them harshly. by Congressman Scott Peters

Although 90 percent of Americans support universal background checks, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell – the only person with the authority to bring these measures forward – refuses to bring these bills to the Senate floor for a vote. On Friday, September 13th, I delivered over 700 letters sent in from San Diegans to Majority Leader McConnell. It is my hope they will finally compel him to act to save lives. by Congressman Scott Peters

Visited Challenger Middle School in Mira Mesa to speak with 8th graders about what it’s like to work in Congress. They had great questions about environmental policy and how to be engaged in our democracy. https://ift.tt/34h2M9m

High prescription drug prices are an issue largely experienced by Americans across the nation. While H.R. 3 will help combat these expensive costs, questions remain about the unknown effects this legislation will have on private institutions focused on innovation, research, and development. San Diego is home to a number of small and emerging organizations working to create cutting-edge technology to improve the quality and accessibility of biopharmaceuticals. My amendment ensures that we continue to support and strengthen the network of capital that sustains innovation. It is my hope that Congress acts to lower prescription drug prices while also maintaining incentives for medical innovation. by Congressman Scott Peters
