Our government is at its best when we are transparent and accountable to the people we represent. In San Diego, we know working together is what gets things done and solves problems.
San Diego is at the forefront of innovation and discovery and our academic and research institutions are a main pillar of our economy. Biotech, med-tech, and other innovative life-science companies and research institutions, support almost 220,000 jobs. I am proud to represent such an inventive, prolific region and support entrepreneurs, businesses and government agencies that are improving lives from groundbreaking medical discoveries to energy innovation.
I’m ready to work with the President, Republicans, and Democrats on good ideas like revising our tax code to support the middle class, bringing offshore profits back for investment at home, repairing our infrastructure, and strengthening American’s military. But I will draw the line when the White House pursues reckless and extreme plans, like a Muslim registry, defunding Planned Parenthood, a border wall, and reckless policies that pollute our air and water.
Our nation has experienced far too many gun-related tragedies. It is past time for commonsense gun safety laws that protect our communities and keep guns out of the hands of those who may harm us. Congress can prevent these tragedies if it implements universal background checks, bans weapons of war, and prohibits suspected terrorists and domestic abusers from purchasing firearms. The status quo is unacceptable.
Scott understands that San Diego’s border culture is critical to the region’s identity. This perspective informs his belief that the border represents an opportunity and not a threat. The United States should remain the premier destination for entrepreneurs and innovators from around the world; a refuge for migrants; and a land of opportunity for everyone.
Scott believes that all women deserve equal access to reproductive health care without interference from the government. He supports legislation that protects women’s rights and promotes fair and equal treatment. He is a member of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus, a group of over 150 members of the U.S. House of Representatives committed to advancing reproductive rights, freedom, and justice.
