Rep. Scott Peters

Since January 20, too many of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Republicans' actions have only served to break our government and hurt the American people. If you’ve been affected, please share your story here to help me best represent San Diego in Congress. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

President Trump says he ‘“doesn’t want to hear about affordability,” but I do. Thank you to the community leaders and nonprofits who joined me for a roundtable discussion on the affordability crisis as families struggle to afford groceries and other bills this Thanksgiving.

The Trump Admin should be working to support our Afghan Allies. Instead, they are creating new ways to strip legal status from thoroughly vetted Afghans. This is wrong and a deep betrayal of people who fought to keep US servicemembers safe. President Trump should reverse this…

Not only has Donald Trump waged a war no one asked for—it’s a war no one wants.   Americans want Trump to tackle inflation and rising costs. Instead, he's carrying out unprovoked attacks, offering little to no explanation, while also ignoring Congress’ constitutional power to…

The aggressive and dangerous tactics of DHS and other federal immigration authorities are making communities more unsafe, not less—and this false narrative is just the latest example. My Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act would ensure federal officers act in a way that is…

Mark Kelly served our country for 25 years and has led the people of Arizona with integrity and dedication. To threaten him or insinuate that he is anything other than loyal or lawful is outrageous and self-serving.

Donald Trump has repeatedly tried to twist our justice system into a personal revenge machine.   This time, it backfired.

Grateful to have earned 100% on the @humaneactfund’s 2025 scorecard. Animals bring us joy, teach us priceless lessons, and so much more. I will always champion legislation that protects and strengthens animal welfare. My friends Bernie, Chico, and Future know that!

↪️The ePermit Act—led by @RepDustyJohnson and @RepScottPeters—will cut through the red tape of the American #permitting process by digitizing federal environmental reviews. We applaud their bipartisan efforts to make American energy permitting more efficient.

I'm glad to see the SPEED Act pass out of committee, but our work is not done yet. As negotiations move forward, it’s crucial we find the right balance to responsibly speed up the permit process to build clean, renewable energy, and I will keep pushing for bipartisan solutions…

🚨 My ePermit Act passed out of committee🚨 I look forward to continuing this momentum and working to meet the growing demand in California, and across our country, and get this over the finish line. Read more about my bill. ⬇️ scottpeters.house.gov/2025/11/peters…

In a democratic society, we do not settle our political disagreements through violence. This rhetoric from President Trump is dangerous and must be unequivocally rejected and condemned by every American. It is time to turn down the heat and stop encouraging this division.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, I’m thinking about our transgender siblings taken too soon by hateful violence. No one should live in fear of being who they are. As a Vice Chair of the @EqualityCaucus, I’ll always fight to protect trans lives and build a more tolerant world.

Meeting America’s affordable and reliable energy demand requires building more infrastructure. Unfortunately, these projects are dragged out for years. We must fix our slow, outdated permit process to build clean, renewable energy faster. Glad to join @C2ES_org and…

Problem Solvers permitting reform working group chairs @RepScottPeters and @repgabeevans joined the bipartisan Build America Caucus for a conversation about our permitting reform framework. Momentum is growing for bipartisan legislation to streamline our country’s energy…

The problem: To compete economically, we need to be able to build more infrastructure at a faster pace than ever before. TOMORROW 9AM ET: Join C2ES for a timely conversation on the prospects for permitting reform in the coming year. ATTEND online: bit.ly/4o4Mqtm

Energy demand is rising, in part due to new data centers & factories. We must reform our outdated permitting processes so we can build much-needed energy projects faster, meet demand, & lower costs. Thanks to @DCC_org for having me yesterday to speak about my work on this & more!

How will America become “Great” if we let China lead the world in innovation and climate action? President Trump’s foolish attacks on clean energy are weakening the U.S. on the global stage.

Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill’ is leaving urban hospitals high and dry. California hospitals are already fighting uphill battles to meet patient demand and stay resilient in the face of disasters. Now, urban hospitals like Scripps Mercy in San Diego are scrambling to fund…

Last week, I joined @nbcsandiego to talk about how we move forward after the historically long shutdown. We still need to address the healthcare affordability crisis. I look forward to working with Republicans to make the Affordable Care Act better, not replacing it with nothing.
