Washington D.C. – U.S. Rep. Katie Hill (D-Agua Dulce) on Friday marked 100 days since her swearing-in on Jan. 3.

“I am so proud to serve the people of my hometown in Washington and even prouder to already be delivering for our community,” Hill said in a statement.

“I promised that I would put the priorities of the people above corporations and special interests and that’s exactly what I’ve done to achieve results,” she said. “With the support and guidance of the community, we truly hit the ground running and I can’t wait to keep bringing our concerns and our voice to the table.”

Hill and her office listed the following accomplishments in her first 100 days:

* Introduced her first bill addressing a top local priority, and ensured the legislation was included in a public lands package that passed both Houses of Congress and was signed into law by the President;
* Elected as one of only two freshmen to serve as Representatives to Leadership, and advocated for the concerns of her community at the highest possible level;
* Authored bipartisan legislation to address concerns from 25th Congressional District constituents about the flaws in their Medicare Part B enrollment;
* Passed a bipartisan bill through the House of Representatives to protect whistleblowers and follow through on her promise to weed out government corruption and promote accountability and transparency
* Used her position in Washington to cut through bureaucracy and tackle pressing local issues like the CEMEX mine;
* Appointed Vice Chair of the powerful House Oversight Committee, where she has used her position to fight for accountability in government, lowering the cost of prescription drugs and increasing transparency regarding climate change;
* Secured more than $80,000 in VA and Social Security benefits for 25th Congressional District constituents;
* Cosponsored 167 pieces of legislation and signed onto 233 letters to provide solutions for the everyday problems people are facing in her community;
* Delivered on her promise to focus on healthcare by cosponsoring 16 different healthcare bills, including sweeping new healthcare legislation that would lower Californian’s health insurance premiums, crack down on junk health insurance plans, and strengthen protections for people with pre-existing conditions; and
* Opened two district offices, held two town halls, attended 22 community events, and visited 16 businesses, military bases, and other key sites in the district.

“I am using my position in Washington to work on issues that our community has said time and time again are the biggest challenges they face,” Hill said.

“In the past few months, we passed our landmark H.R. 1, For The People Act, to get big money out of politics and make Washington and our government work for the people again,” she said. “We’re advancing critical new bills to lower health costs and prescription drug prices. We’re making housing more affordable and doing the work to assemble a bold investment in rebuilding America’s infrastructure.”

• H.R. 1 – For The People Act
