Dear Neighbor,
This week I was hard at work in Orange County, fighting for our seniors and t o lower costs for Orange
County families. As this summer’s district work period continues in full sw ing, I’m committed to
ensuring my neighbors have the support and tools they need to get ahead. 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.
COMBAT T ING T RAFFIC AND AIR PO LLUT IO N
I co-sponsored the HOV Lane Exemption Reauthorization Act, legislation t hat will enable states to grant
electric vehicles and alternative fuel vehicles use of HOV lanes. Currently, elect ric and alternative fuel
are allowed to enter HOV lanes— but this policy is set to expire on September 30, 2025. This bill would
incentivize alternative fuel and electric vehicle (EV) use, alleviate roadway congestion, and protect the
environment. To learn more about the bill click HERE.

RAISING AWARENESS: RISING BACK T O SCHO O L CO ST S
This month also marks the beginning of the 2025 school year for most students around Orange
County, which means that back-to-school shopping is in full swing. As students across the country
return to classrooms and campuses, they and their families are facing higher prices for back-to-school
essentials—from school supplies and clothes, to school meals, technology, and transportation.
President Trump’s failure to keep his campaign promise to address high and rising prices has already
translated into bigger back-to-school bills. And now, his tariff policies are imposing an additional back-
to-school tax on families with children. I’m committed to lowering costs for families on Main Street.
Cost of school supplies have increased since last year
UPLIFT ING THE NEXT GENERAT ION OF LE ADE RS
I also heard from the young leaders at Katella High School to discuss the issues that matter to them.
From women’s health, to climate change, immigration, there are many issues t hat directly impact
young people’s futures. Staying civically engaged and standing up for w hat’s right are critical for
young people as we all navigate these uncertain times. I’m so impressed by the bright minds of the
Katella students. If these young leaders are anything to go off of, then our fut ure is bright.

SERVICE ACADEMY
Would you like to learn more about our nation’s Service Academies? If so, I’d like to invite you to my
U.S. Service Academy Informational on Friday, September 5th. Students a ppointed to one of our
nation’s Service Academies have the unique opportunity to receive a full schola rship, study, and
serve our country. These elite undergraduate colleges provide education, t raining, and leadership
development for future commissioned officers of our armed forces. The selection process to join one
of these Academies may be rigorous, but my office is here to help. This is a great opportunity for
students seeking to create a career in the armed forces—but the deadline t o apply for a Congressional
nomination is November 5th. The event is for students, parents, guidance counselors, school officials,
and anyone else interested in learning about the Congressional nominat ion process and the five
different service academies. This special presentation will last from 6:00 PM t o 7:30 PM in Santa Ana
—you can register here.
As always, I am committed to serving you, advocating for issues that mat ter to our community, and
connecting you to important resources. If you are experiencing any issues w it h a federal agency, my
office is here to help. Give us a call at (714) 559-6190.
Sincerely,
Rep. Lou Correa
