Pete Aguilar represents the 31st Congressional District of California. He was most recently re-elected in 2020 and serves on the House Appropriations Committee. In the 117th Congress, Rep. Aguilar holds the leadership position of Vice Chair of the House Democratic Caucus.
Raising his family in the community his family has called home for four generations, Representative Aguilar understands the challenges that Inland Empire families face today. He started his first job at the age of twelve, working with his grandfather at the San Bernardino County Courthouse cafeteria. He then put himself through college with the assistance of student loans and federal grants, and later established a life in public service to give back to his community.
Every American should have access to high-quality, affordable health care. That’s why I’ve been fighting back against the Trump Administration’s efforts to take health care away from millions of families and allow health insurance companies to call the shots.
I fought efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and I oppose any effort that would allow insurance companies to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions, raise rates, or cut millions off of their health care plans. I also fought against the Republican tax plan that gives 83 percent of the tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans and largest corporations while gutting Medicare and Medicaid and increasing insurance premiums for the middle class.
I am committed to expanding access to health care for all Americans and will continue fighting for policies that lower the cost of coverage for individuals and families.
