Noncompete agreements stifle innovation and disrupt labor markets. My bipartisan Workforce Mobility Act will help limit these burdensome agreements to foster competitiveness and creativity, empower workers, and strengthen our economy. I look forward to getting this done for American workers.

Washington, D.C. — Today, Representatives Scott Peters (D-CA) and Tom Kean, Jr. (R-NJ) reintroduced the Workforce Mobility Act, a bill to limit employers' ability to force employees to sign noncompete agreements except in certain cases.

🚨 My Nuclear REFUEL Act unanimously passed out of committee!🚨

We can't ignore the importance of building new nuclear energy. But we also need a real plan for nuclear waste. Decommissioned plants like San Onofre just outside San Diego show why this matters, as spent fuel poses a contamination risk to our communities, ecosystems, and oceans. My bipartisan Nuclear REFUEL Act solves this, and will help us put nuclear waste to safe use, for good.

Great news for millions of Americans still waiting for high-speed internet: My bipartisan PLAN for Broadband Act passed a critical subcommittee yesterday. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law gave us the funding to expand broadband access nationwide, but the money can’t just sit in the bank. Our bill would implement a comprehensive strategy to deploy this funding and finally close the digital divide.

President Trump said his war with Iran would be over in 4 to 6 weeks. That was over 6 months ago, and what we've seen is truly a disaster.

President Trump clearly doesn't know what he's doing. It's time for Republicans to get off the bench and start speaking up on behalf of this country.

I've long said this Republican-controlled Congress's reliance on short-term, stopgap funding bills is unsustainable. But I won't let workers in San Diego and across the country get crushed by another lengthy government shutdown, so I supported this bill.
