The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill permitted federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities. The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[91] ### Economy[edit] #### Farm bill[edit] On January 29, 2014, the U.S. House approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, known as the Farm Bill.[92] The bill passed by a vote of 251-166. The nearly 1,000-page bill provides for the reform and continuation of agricultural and other programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that would kick in when prices drop.[93][94] However, cuts to the food stamp program cut an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[94] Eshoo voted with 102 other Democratic representatives against the bill. #### 2014 Budget[edit] On January 15, 2014, the Republican-run House approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[95][96] The House voted 359-67 for the 1,582 page bill, with 64 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the bill.[96] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[97] It included a 1 percent increase in the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel, a $1 billion increase in Head Start funding for early childhood education, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency, and the protection of the Affordable Care Act from any drastic cuts. Eshoo joined with the majority of the Democratic party and voted in favor of the bill.[95][96] #### Government shutdown[edit] See also: United States budget debate, 2013 On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[98] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[99] Eshoo voted against the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[100] The shutdown ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[101] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Eshoo voted for HR 2775.[102] #### Federal Pay Adjustment Act[edit] Eshoo voted against HR 273 - Eliminates the 2013 Statutory Pay Adjustment for Federal Employees. The bill passed the House on February 15, 2013, with a vote of 261 - 154. The bill called for stopping a 0.5 percent pay increase for all federal workers from taking effect. The raises were projected to cost $11 billion over 10 years.[103] ### Immigration[edit] #### Morton Memos Prohibition[edit] Eshoo voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain individuals residing in the United States without legal status.[104] The vote largely followed party lines.[105] ### Healthcare[edit] #### Healthcare Reform Rules[edit] Eshoo voted against House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires that all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[106] ### Social issues[edit] #### Abortion[edit] Eshoo voted against HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196 that largely followed party lines. The purpose of the bill was to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[107] ### Previous congressional sessions[edit] #### Fiscal Cliff[edit] Eshoo voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was one of 172 Democrats who voted in favor of the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257 - 167 vote on January 1, 2013.[108] ## Issues[edit] ### Presidential preference[edit] ### 2016 presidential endorsement[edit] ✓ Eshoo endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic primary in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[109] See also: Endorsements for Hillary Clinton 2016 Presidential Endorsements by U.S. Representatives Representative | Candidate |

Scott Rigell wrote in the letter in August 2013, “Engaging our military in Syria when no direct threat to the United States exists and without prior congressional authorization would violate the separation of powers that is clearly delineated in the Constitution.”[110][111] The members of Congress believed that Obama should have asked Congress for permission before engaging in Libya. The letter asked, “If the use of 221 Tomahawk cruise missles, [sic] 704 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, and 42 Predator Hellfire missiles expended in Libya does not constitute ‘hostilities,’ what does?”[111] The letter stated, “If you deem that military action in Syria is necessary, Congress can reconvene at your request. We stand ready to come back into session, consider the facts before us, and share the burden of decisions made regarding U.S. involvement in the quickly escalating Syrian conflict."[111] A total of 98 Republicans signed the letter. Eshoo was one of 18 Democratic members to sign the letter.[111] ## Elections[edit] ### 2022[edit] See also: California's 18th Congressional District election, 2022 General election The primary will occur on June 7, 2022.

For a full list of campaign themes, click here. “ | * Jobs: I support policies that foster competition, encourage innovation and produce skilled, high wage jobs. * Economy: Greater investment in education, basic scientific research and in our roads, bridges and transit systems is overdue and would spur the economy. * Technology: To ensure an open, free and accessible Internet for all, I led the charge in Congress for the most democratic rules possible to preserve Net Neutrality, and we won. But this debate could resurface and we must be vigilant. * Citizens United: Unlimited spending is undermining our elections. Citizens United is wrong. Money does not equal speech. Short of overturning the decision, transparency is our best antidote. I’ve called for the Federal Communications Commission to require disclosure of the true source of funding for political broadcast ads and proposed that the President require government contractors to publicly report all political contributions.
