Each day that Congresswoman Matsui serves as Sacramento’s representative, she’s working to push the economy forward for American families. The Congresswoman has championed making targeted investments in areas that will grow the economy and create high-paying jobs: manufacturing, clean energy, education, health care, and infrastructure.

The COVID-19 pandemic has demanded a strong, decisive response from the federal government to ensure our economic stability and create new well-paying jobs. As we continue to work through a time of unprecedented uncertainty, millions of Americans have been left struggling by the economic fallout caused by the pandemic. The challenges we face are some of the most consequential of our lifetime, and that is why she is working with the Biden Administration to expand support for small businesses, boost investments in job training, and create new pathways to employment. But more work must be done to strengthen this growth and ensure the economy benefits all Americans.

The Congresswoman has joined with her Democratic Women’s Working Group (DWWG) colleagues to promote the Women’s Economic Agenda, which is grounded in the knowledge that when women succeed, America succeeds. She has also pushed to expand broadband access for low-income households to ensure working families have the tools they need to apply for a job, take online classes, or start a business. And, she has consistently called for additional funding for state and local governments to maintain services that support economic activity like public transit, tourism boards, and the arts.

As we strive to build and strengthen our economy, Congresswoman Matsui is committed to continue fighting to keep Sacramento a wonderful place to work and live.
