American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

View Economic Recovery at Work in Our District in a larger map

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is a comprehensive economic recovery package designed to jumpstart the economy, provide tax benefits for families and small businesses, and invest in infrastructure and innovation. Developed with the Obama Administration, this package will create an estimated 3.5 million new jobs, give 95 percent of working families an immediate tax cut, shore up the nation’s aging infrastructure and help our country shift to green energy technology.

The stimulus measure is expected to pour $31-35 billion into California to build roads and bridges, and upgrade schools, and would create nearly 400,000 jobs in the state, the most in the country. Congressman Thompson helped draft key energy tax provisions of the bill and voted in favor of the legislation. This legislation will save or create 8,000 jobs in our district.

Congressman Thompson has created a guide to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for local government agencies and non-profits. This guide will be continuously updated as more information becomes available.
