We just passed the #BuildBackBetter Act to make one of the most transformative investments in the middle class in our nation’s history. This bill will help our working families, fight climate change, expand access to affordable health care, and create millions of jobs. ⤵ (1/5)
👨👩👧👦Working families will reap the benefits of this legislation for generations. #BBB will expand the #ChildTaxCredit, which has drastically reduced child poverty. It will also make child care more affordable and enable states to expand access to nearly 20 million children. (2/5)
🌎 #BBB will deliver the largest effort to combat the climate crisis by growing our clean energy economy. It will provide clean energy tax credits, and invest in clean energy technology and manufacturing, creating good-paying jobs as a result. (3/5)
⚕ Health care should be a right, not a privilege. #BBB will expand Medicare to cover hearing benefits, reduce the cost of prescription drugs and cap out-of-pocket costs for seniors. (4/5)
💵This is all paid for by asking the largest corporations and the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share of taxes. Our working families have been waiting far too long for this investment—now, I urge the Senate to vote to rebuild our middle class. (5/5)

1/5 Two years ago, our community experienced a tragedy unlike any we have faced before. #1October, 2017, is a day that no Nevadan will forget. The fear, the trauma, the grief that engulfed our city can’t be measured.
2/5 Since that day, I have seen our city come together in a way that only a strong community can in supporting the victims and their families. Our unity made it clear that ‘Vegas Strong’ is not a catchphrase, it’s a part of our identity.
3/5 No one embodies that identity more than our first responders on the scene minutes after the shooting, along with the nurses, doctors, and hospital staff working day and night to care for the countless victims injured that night.
