Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Dear neighbor, Over 43 million Americans owe student loan debt, totaling more than $1.6 trillion. SI recently introduced legislation to make it easier for borrowers facing financial distress to discharge student loans in bankruptcy—just like other forms of consumer debt. I believe hardw orking Americans deserve a fair chance to get back on their feet. As Congress considers t his issue, I want your opinion.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Dear Neighbor, This week I was in Washington standing up for immigrants, small businesses, and veterans on Main Street. I hosted U.S. Marine Veteran Alejandro Barranco who is pushing for humane immigration reform that keeps families together. I also stood with my Korean-American neighbors by calling for peace on the Korean Peninsula. And I introduced legislation to help keep small businesses afloat and celebrated the 102nd birthday of one of my neighbors on the House floor. It w as a busy week back in Washington, so I wanted to take a moment to show you what I’ve been w orking on. PROT E CT ING OUR IMMIGRANT NE IGHBOR S This week, I welcomed my constituent, Alejandro Barranco, to Washingt on. Alejandro is a U.S. Veteran who is still willing to lay down his life for this country. And yet, last mont h, Alejandro’s father, Narciso Barranco, was brutally assaulted and detained by ICE. Alejandro came to Washington to show lawmakers how the Administration's immigration policies are ripping innocent families apart. They make movies about the Barranco family. I won’t stop fighting to give parents of our servicemen and women a fair shot. Congressman Correa joined U.S. Marin e Veteran Alejandro Barranco to push for humane immigration policies INT RO DUCING LEGISLATIO N TO HELP SMALL BUSINE SSE S I also introduced the Business Uninterrupted Monetary Program Act of 2025, ( BUMP Act), legislation which would provide needed funding to businesses and nonprofits negat ively impacted by major transit and highway projects across Orange County. This funding would be allow ed to cover utilities, insurance, rent or mortgage, payroll, and loss of income for impacted businesses. The BUMP Act w ill ensure that these businesses stay afloat if a transportation project pops up in their neighborhood, and it would make federal tax dollars available to hard-working small business owners on Main Street harmed by this construction. Our local business owners are part of the economic fabric of our communities, and they deserve our support if federally funded projects are int errupting their day-to- day operations. Small businesses should not have to bear the cost of progress. Congressman Correa introduced the BUMP Act CELE BRAT ING PHILLIP RAMO S AS HE T URNS 102 I also celebrated the 102nd birthday of my neighbor, Phillip Ramos. Phillip is a World War II Veteran who served in the U.S. Army Corps from 1942-1945. For over 70 years. Phillip has been a valued member of local nonprofits including the Los Angeles County United Way and on the Cal State University Los Angeles College Advisory Board. Phillip exemplifies what t he greatest generation is. They fought in World War II, served with honor, and returned home to build this great nation. Happy Birthday Phillip. Con gressman Correa delivered remarks on the House Floor to celebrate Phillip Ramos’ birthday PUSHING FO R PE ACE I also joined the Korea Peace Forum to represent Orange County–home t o t he 2nd largest Korean American community in the United States There are thousands of Korean Americans who have relatives in North Korea and they cannot reunite for funerals or any other family events because the United States is still in a state of war with North Korea. Korean Americans, many w ho came to the United States as refugees, settled in my district in cities like Fullerton and Anaheim. I’ve heard stories of struggles and heartbreaks that Korean immigrants endured because of the w ar and the separation of families. This is not just about peace on the peninsula, this is about reunit ing families. Congressman Correa spoke at the Korea Peace Forum on the Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act As always, I am committed to serving you, advocating for issues that mat ter to our community, and connecting you to important resources.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Dear Neighbor, This week I was hard at work standing up for health care in Orange County. In honor of the 60th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, I spent the week pushing for policies t hat protect these critical health care programs. I co-sponsored legislation that helps hospitals cont inue t o provide care to children on Medicaid, and also introduced legislation that would keep families from being crushed by medical debt. As I bring your stories to the halls of Congress, I wanted to take a moment to show you what I’ve been working on. SUPPORT ING CHILDREN'S HO SPITAL OF O RANG E CO UNT Y I co-sponsored the Protect Our Hospitals Act which would defend hospit als from the unprecedented cuts to hospital funding. This legislation repeals harmful provisions passed in the On e Big Ugly Bill that cut funding to hospitals that historically has been to help cover the cost of care for families on Medicaid. Hospitals including the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) deliver lifesaving care to thousands of children on Medicaid. This bill would help ensure that these children can continue to get the care they need. Everyone should have access to the health care they need. I’ll keep fighting for legislation that protects that right. Congressman Correa co-sponsored legislation to allow CHOC to continue to provide care to patients on Medicaid. HE LPING FAMILIES RE COVE R FROM MEDICAL DE BT I also introduced the Medical Debt Relief Act to help families bounce back from medical debt. Every year far too many hardworking Americans are crushed by medical debt. Even after families have paid their bills, their credit scores still take a nosedive.This legislation helps families get back on their feet without punishing them for being sick. The Medical Debt Relief Act would ban all medical debt from appearing on credit reports and prohibit creditors from considering Americans’ medical debt in their decisions on whether to extend them credit. It’s simple: your health should never bankrupt you. Click HERE to learn more. Congressman Correa introduced the Medical Debt Relief Act FIGHT ING FO R ME DICAID This week marks the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, two cornerstone programs that have helped generations of Americans access health care, live with dignity, and enjoy great er financial security. Today, over 250,000 people in Orange County rely on Medicaid to get the care t hey need, w hen they need it. But that promise is under attack. The latest GOP-backed budget rips coverage away from far too many hardworking taxpayers. Their plan leaves families sicker, poorer, and more vulnerable. I’m committed to strengthening Medicare and Medicaid. That means lowering cost s; expanding Medicare drug negotiation; expanding benefits like dental, vision, and hearing coverage; simplifying health care, and protecting access to care for every generation to come. SPOT LIG HTING MY SUMMER INT E R NS I also said goodbye to my fabulous class of summer interns in my Washingt on, D.C. office. These brilliant young leaders spent the past several months helping constituent s, helping fight for common- sense legislation, and raising their voices for the issues that matter most. If these interns are the next generation of leaders, then we are in good hands. Thank you to Bella, Caroline, Christian, Jamie, Shane, and Stella for your contributions to our office.

Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Dear neighbor, I want to ensure everyone in middle class America can get the health care the y ne e d without worrying that the bills will put their families out on the street. Currently, one in five Americans has medical debt, and it is the number one reason Americans file for bankrupt cy. I introduced the Medical Debt Relief Act to ensure that families can recover, pay their bills, and protect t heir credit scores. This legislation would ban all medical debt from appearing on credit reports and prohibit creditors from considering Americans’ medical debt in their decisions on whether to extend t hem credit. I am committed to reducing the burden of medical debt for American families. As we address this bipartisan effort in Congress, I want your opinion.
