Rep. Matsui prioritizes delivering federal funding for her Sacramento region district across flood protection, healthcare access, infrastructure, and clean energy. Her campaign emphasizes her two-decade track record of securing billions in federal dollars for levee improvements, renewable energy, public transportation, and economic development while opposing what she frames as Washington dysfunction.
