| Rudy Salas supports future efforts to renew expansion of the Child Tax Credit, to support working families. | The Expanded Child Tax Credit: Our community is full of families. In fact, 29 percent of our community’s residents are children. The expanded Child Tax Credit provided up to $3,600 per child, lifting millions of families out of poverty. | David Valadao voted against expanding the Child Tax Credit. |
| Rudy Salas supports the funding of rental assistance and first-time homebuyer programs for struggling families. | Making Housing Affordable: About 17 percent of people in this community can barely afford the cost of housing. The Republican’s “Limit, Save, Grow Act” would have resulted in an estimated 2 million people being blocked from getting the federal rental assistance they need to obtain or maintain stable housing. | David Valadao voted for the Limit, Save, Grow Act, that would have cut off millions of Americans from vitally needed help with rent. |
| Rudy Salas can be counted on to protect and support expansion of the Affordable Care Act and other reforms that make healthcare more affordable. | Making Health Care Affordable: There are still too many people without health insurance in our community. In fact, 9 percent of people here are uninsured, more than most other communities. The American Rescue plan expanded the Affordable Care Act (Also called the ACA or Obamacare) that provides access to affordable insurance and protects Americans with pre-existing conditions. | David Valadao voted against expanding the Affordable Care Act. |
