Bera Campaign Releases First Ad Highlighting Promise Dr. Bera Has Kept to Put People Before Politics

Press Release

The Bera for Congress campaign released its first ad of the 2014 general election today highlighting how Dr. Bera has kept his promise to put the people of Sacramento County before politics, including championing the No Budget No Pay law, returning his pay during the Republican shutdown, and returning his Congressional pension until Social Security and Medicare are secure.

"As a doctor, I took an oath to serve my patients, and in Congress I pledged to put the people of Sacramento County first," said Bera. "I've kept my promise, because to me, Congress should be a place for service, not personal profit."

In 2012, Congressman Bera made the following pledge that he has stood by. He pledged to:

-Sponsor the No Budget, No Pay, a law that says if Congress doesn't do its job and pass a responsible budget, members don't get paid.

-Oppose Congressional pay raises until unemployment is below 5 percent in Sacramento County.

-Refuse a Congressional pension until Medicare and Social Security are secure for all Americans.

The new 30-second ad will begin running online today.
