Scott Peters

Where Peters stands

Taxes & spending

The Bipartisan Fiscal Forum (BFF) is a group of like-minded congressmembers dedicated to sounding the alarm about our nation's unsustainable debt trajectory and working together to get control of our fiscal future.

Jobs, wages & cost of living

San Diego is at the forefront of innovation and discovery and our academic and research institutions are a main pillar of our economy. Biotech, med-tech, and other innovative life-science companies and research institutions, support almost 220,000 jobs. I am proud to represent such an inventive, prolific region and support entrepreneurs, businesses and government agencies that are improving lives from groundbreaking medical discoveries to energy innovation.

Jobs, wages & cost of living

Biotechnology is a major driver of San Diego’s economy, employing 167,000 members of our community and generating $55.2 billion in economic output just last year.

Veterans & military

First elected in 2012, Scott’s career has been defined by major legislative victories for our veterans and military, deploying clean energy, reducing drug costs while protecting innovation, and confronting the substance abuse crisis.

Priorities

I’m ready to work with the President, Republicans, and Democrats on good ideas like revising our tax code to support the middle class, bringing offshore profits back for investment at home, repairing our infrastructure, and strengthening American’s military. But I will draw the line when the White House pursues reckless and extreme plans, like a Muslim registry, defunding Planned Parenthood, a border wall, and reckless policies that pollute our air and water.

Priorities

Regardless of your immigration status, you have certain rights in this country.

Priorities

San Diegans and families across the country rely on safe, effective products every day, and they should know if these products have been vetted against the highest health and safety standards.
