Friend, as we prepare to bring in the new year, I want to recap a bit of what was accomplished in 2022, and talk to you about our plans for 2023 and beyond.

I’m really proud of what we accomplished this year: Passing the CHIPS Act to make more chips in America, the Inflation Reduction Act to lower costs and tackle climate change, the PACT Act to provide health care to veterans exposed to toxins and burn pits, the Respect for Marriage Act to protect same-sex and interracial marriage, comprehensive gun safety legislation, and the Dr. Lorna Breen Act to improve mental and behavioral health among health care providers.

The next few years bring both challenges and opportunities. We are starting a divided Congress next week -- with a GOP-led House and an expanded Democratic majority in the Senate. Here’s what I’ll be focused on when I return to the Senate in the new year:

  • Expanding affordable health care for all: I’ll be pushing hard to pass my Medicare-X bill -- legislation that will create a high-quality, low-cost public option for health insurance.
     
  • Expanding the US labor market by creating more high-quality affordable child care. We fought for this in 2022 and we’ll keep fighting, because parents and kids deserve access to high-quality child care.
     
  • Expanding the US labor market by passing comprehensive immigration reform. This should include improving our legal immigration system, enhancing border security, and protecting Dreamers.
     
  • Expanding the US labor market by passing my JOBS Act to allow Pell grants to be used for high-quality job training programs. This is key to lowering the cost of higher education and helping Americans access good, high-paying jobs.
     
  • Defending women's reproductive freedom. My bipartisan Reproductive Freedom for All Act will allow women everywhere to have the freedom to make their own reproductive choices.
     
  • Securing our democracy. I’ll continue to fight for the Freedom to Vote Act -- which will improve access to the ballot box.
     
  • Providing care to the millions of Americans experiencing long COVID. The pandemic hasn’t ended for far too many people who deserve our support -- they can’t be left behind.

And this is just the beginning. 

If you’re ready to help me defend health care, women’s rights, democracy,our economic progress , and more, please add your name to say you’re ready to keep fighting in 2023.

ADD YOUR NAME

We’ve got two more years of a Democratic Senate majority ahead of us, and there’s a lot to get done.

Thanks for all your support, 

Tim Kaine
