Morse's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Fighting for Women’s Reproductive Freedom Our reproductive freedoms are on the ballot this year. While extremists like Kevin Kiley will strip away women’s reproductive rights, Jessica will fight relentlessly in Congress to codify Roe v. Wade into law. Together, we can ensure that women have the freedom to make our own choices about our bodies and our futures. Protecting Our Communities from Wildfire As Deputy Secretary at the California Natural Resources Agency, Jessica helped design and implement a $3 billion, 3-year wildfire resilience initiative, focused on mitigating catastrophic wildfires. To secure a fire-safe future, we need the federal government to join us in stepping up and getting ahead of the crisis. We need an advocate in Congress to drive resources and solutions into our communities. Addressing the Home Fire Insurance Crisis The cost of fire insurance is untenable for so many Californians, and the market is fundamentally broken. Throughout California’s Third District, families are blindsided by policy cancellations and skyrocketing rates. Many homeowners, even those diligently maintaining defensible space, have seen their insurance costs more than double or have lost insurance all together. This must be fixed. Supporting Our Seniors As your Congresswoman, Jessica will fight to protect and expand Medicare and Social Security against any attempts to cut funding. Our seniors deserve to age with dignity, financial security, and access to quality healthcare. We must honor our commitments by safeguarding the promises we’ve made to them. Addressing Our Housing Crisis Finding an affordable place to live is increasingly difficult across our district. Families from the suburbs to the Sierra face rising housing prices and surging home insurance costs, which drives up rent and makes homeownership unattainable, all while the homeless crisis continues to grow at an alarming rate. Reducing the Federal Deficit The federal government’s $34 trillion debt is a crisis. Last year, the US paid $659 billion in interest alone, which is more than the government spent on Medicaid, veterans, or children. This won’t get fixed in one budget cycle. We need to follow a multi-decade, fiscally responsible plan to bring the debt under control.[2] |
