End Unnecessary Government Printing

In 2015, Scott introduced the Unnecessary Government Printing Reform Act that would put an end to wasteful government printing. Similar language was included in the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act and was passed. San Diegans are fed up with government inefficiency and waste. Scott’s bill saves paper and government resources.  

Getting Russian Meddling Out of U.S. Elections

In 2017, Scott voted for legislation that directed the President to impose new sanctions on Russia for meddling in the U.S. 2016 elections. The bill became law, but the President missed the January deadline to impose these sanctions, so Scott sent a letter inquiring upon the delay. Days later, the President released sanctions on Russia. Congress must act to protect its republic and the sanctity of its elections. These sanctions remind President Putin and other nefarious leaders who seek to impose their influence that punishment will be administered.
