GRAY PASSES THREE BIPARTISAN BILLS ON HOUSE FLOOR

Last week, Congressman Adam Gray (CA-13) passed three bipartisan bills on the House floor to deliver for the Central Valley.  

All three bills, introduced with a Republican co-lead, passed on the House floor with support from both Democrats and Republicans. All three bills now advance to the Senate for further consideration.  

The Telehealth Network and Telehealth Resource Centers Grant Program Reauthorization Act, introduced alongside Congressman David Valadao (CA-22), authorizes funding for the Telehealth Network Grant Program through 2030, ensuring families in rural areas like California’s Central Valley will have access to care.  

The Fire Improvement and Reforming Exceptional Events (FIRE) Act, introduced alongside Congressman Gabe Evans (CO-08), will ensure that states are not punished for the smoke and emissions they cannot control, while still maintaining strong environmental protections.  

The Harnessing Energy at Thermal Sources (HEATS) Act, introduced alongside Congresswoman Young Kim (CA-40), will streamline geothermal energy development and production and decrease energy costs.  

“I came to Congress to get things done for the Central Valley,” said Congressman Adam Gray. “This shows that despite partisan gridlock and politics as usual in Washington, it is possible to find common ground on issues and deliver meaningful legislation that will expand access to telehealth in rural communities, address wildfire-related air quality challenges, and lower energy costs. I will work with anyone to deliver results and find solutions to the issues facing the Valley.”
