Congresswoman Pelosi and Senator Schumer held a press conference immediately following the passage of this Tax Scam to discuss the impacts it will have on middle class families. According tonon-partisan analysispublished by the Tax Policy Center, the final bill passed this week will raise taxes on 86 million middle class households and hand 83 percent of the benefits to the wealthiest one percent. By the end, more than half of all American households will pay higher taxes under this tax scam. Those who voted for this tax increase for middle class families voted to let the wealthiest one percentsteal the future of the middle classin America. This bill will go down as one of the most scandalous, obscene acts of plutocracy ever. In the case of California, a dozenCalifornia House Republicansjoined their colleagues to pass this tax scam, perpetrating a monumental theft from hard-working Californians. This tax scam will have particularly devastatingconsequences for middle class familiesin our state, and Californians will not forget the Members who pushed this monstrous bill over the finish line. Democrats remain committed to fighting for Americas hard working families and offering the American people a better deal.

My office recently assisted a constituent who has not received rent payments owed to him from the San Francisco Housing Authority (SFHA). He had contacted our office because he had not been receiving the SFHA rent contribution for two of his tenants that receive a Section 8 Housing Voucher. Therefore, my staff contacted SFHA on his behalf and conveyed the details of his situation. As a result, SFHA issued retroactive payments for the owed rent contribution. He is now fully reimbursed from SFHA. Caseworkers in my San Francisco office work to address any problems or concerns you may have with a federal government agency.
