congressman Lou Correa is a longtime Orange County resident, with deep local roots. To this day, he lives only three miles from his childhood neighborhood in Anaheim. He is the son of working-class parents whose hard work gave him a chance at success. Lou has spent his career fighting to protect the American Dream, and ensure anyone can reach the middle class, just as he did.
When Lou was young, his mother cleaned hotel rooms across from Disneyland, and his father held a manufacturing job at a paper mill. Through hard work, Lou’s parents gave him access to better education than they had, and a path to the middle class.
Ensuring everyone has access to affordable and quality healthcare is one of Congressman Correa’s top priorities. As a Member of Congress, he opposed the repeal of the Affordable Care Act because it would have left 22 million Americans without healthcare coverage. Congressman Correa has opposed deep cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. He has supported legislation to ensure that community health clinics continued to be funded. To create a better healthcare system for all Americans, Congressman Correa called for bipartisan solutions to improve the Affordable Care Act. He understands the urgency and need of healthcare for all Americans and will continue to support and strengthen healthcare reforms that reflect the needs of all Americans.
