SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA — Today, Rep. Ami Bera, M.D. released the following statement after advancing to the general election in California’s new Third Congressional District:

“I am humbled and deeply thankful for the trust voters in the Third District have placed in me to be their voice in Washington.

“I want to thank my fellow candidates for participating in this race and engaging voters in communities across this beautiful district. Our democracy is strongest when voters have the opportunity to hear different ideas, debate the issues, and make their voices heard.

“I look forward to running a strong campaign that will unite a broad coalition of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans who believe we must restore accountability, transparency, and checks and balances to Washington. 

“Over the coming months, I will continue traveling across Sacramento, El Dorado, Placer, and Nevada counties to meet with voters, listen to their concerns, and earn the opportunity to serve another term in Congress.”
