SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA (MPG) - Doctor and Congressman Ami Bera (D-CA) announced he is running for re-election to Congress in the newly drawn 6th Congressional District of California, which lies entirely within Sacramento County and includes most of the district he currently represents.
“My family and I are excited to announce that I am running for re-election to represent California’s 6th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives,” said Doctor Bera. “Since entering Congress, I have been laser focused on improving the lives of my constituents here in Sacramento County, including through my efforts to build a stronger middle class, expand quality and affordable health care, and reduce everyday costs for American families. During this time, Sacramento County has experienced an unprecedented growth that has made our region a destination for both families and small businesses.”
Doctor Bera continued: “It has been the honor of my life to represent the people of Sacramento County in Congress, and I look forward to continuing to represent them in our nation’s capital for many years to come.”
Doctor Bera has proudly represented Sacramento County in Congress since 2013. As a first generation American, he attended California’s public schools from kindergarten through to medical school. Bera served his community for 21 years as a doctor, as Sacramento County’s Chief Medical Officer, and then as a Clinical Professor of Medicine and Dean of Admissions at UC Davis, where he taught the next generation of doctors to care for their patients. Doctor Bera has lived in Sacramento County for over 25 years with his wife Janine, who is also a medical doctor. They are proud parents to their daughter, Sydra.
In Congress, Doctor Bera serves as Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, Central Asia, and Nonproliferation, where he regularly works with Members in both parties to strengthen America’s security and global leadership.
