Exacerbating the issue, Americans traveling are stuck in hours-long lines with no end in sight, because Speaker Johnson refused to put a bill on the floor,” said Rep. Gil Cisneros. “Instead of fixing the problem, he chose to kick the can down the road again with another 60-day patch fix. He had the votes to do the right thing, but instead he wanted to play politics with workers' paychecks and people’s time.” ### Media Press Releases In the News Back to top button Office Locations Washington DC Office 2463 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Phone: (202) 225-5256 Covina District Office 100 S.

Cisneros Introduces Bill to Streamline Small Business Contracts January 20, 2026 Press Release Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Gil Cisneros introduced the Streamlining Small Business Contracts Act, a bill that would simplify and streamline single-source contracts across SBA programs by implementing a $10 million threshold. Current thresholds for contracts awarded to small businesses do not reflect realities of costs and inflation, and limit small business competition. This bill would raise those thresholds to meet the needs of America’s small businesses today. “America’s small businesses deserve contracts that meet the current realities that they face today,” said Rep. Cisneros . “My bill will set a new standard threshold for small business contracts in SBA programs—opening up new opportunities for more small businesses, fighting rising costs from inflation, and spurring small business competition. This legislation will advance stronger small businesses through better contracts across all SBA programs.” This bill was endorsed by: Women's Procurement Circle HUBZone Contractors National Council GovEvolve GovCon Small Business Coalition Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce Rep. Cisneros is a member of the House Committee on Small Business, the Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Contracting and Infrastructure, and on the Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Regulations.

Rep.

Cisneros Votes to Extend ACA Tax Credits, Reduce Healthcare Costs January 8, 2026 Press Release Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Gil Cisneros (CA-31) voted in favor of extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits to reduce healthcare costs. Premiums rose substantially after Republicans ended the Affordable Care Act tax credits and healthcare costs soared following the passage of the Republican funding bill just a few months ago. The measure to restore the ACA tax credits for the next three years passed the House. “Today, I proudly voted yes on the clean bill to restore the ACA tax credits, because we need these cost-saving tax credits to give relief to the millions of Americans feeling crushed by the weight of healthcare costs,” said Rep. Cisneros. “In my district alone, over 44,000 individuals stand to lose their healthcare thanks to this Republican-manufactured healthcare crisis. Across America, that number rises to 22 million. “After orchestrating the longest government shutdown in our history, Republicans finally joined ranks with every Democrat to protect healthcare for their people. This could have ended before it even started, if Republicans had the courage to do the right thing months ago, before people had to bear the costs of the premium hikes. Instead, they held the government hostage because they were too afraid to stand against the President. “Across America, our communities deserve access to quality and affordable care, and while the fight to lower healthcare costs continues, today’s vote was a step in the right direction. Now, we must continue the momentum to reform our healthcare system to work for everyone, not just those who can afford it. Last month, I took action to introduce a comprehensive healthcare plan to address the healthcare crisis by lowering costs, expanding access to high-quality care, and protecting the programs that millions of working Americans and seniors rely on. I will continue to stand united with the entire Democratic party as we fight for a more affordable future.” Without the ACA tax credits, people in CA-31 would have seen their healthcare premiums rise by up to $13,783.

Cisneros Leads Letter Condemning LA SBA Office Relocation June 13, 2025 Press Release Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Gil Cisneros (CA-31) led a letter to Administrator Kelly Loeffler, expressing strong opposition to her decision to relocate the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Regional Office out of Los Angeles. This move follows her previous announcement to move six other SBA Regional Offices out of major metropolitan areas with high concentration of small businesses. Her latest decision came in response to protests against the ICE raids in Southern California that are splitting families apart and targeting working immigrants rather than criminals. “Administrator Loeffler does not seem to understand that she is the Small Business Administrator, not the Secretary of Homeland Security,” said Rep. Cisneros . “Pulling resources out of Los Angeles will only hurt small businesses and does nothing to keep anyone safe. This is a political act of retaliation and it’s going to punish small businesses across the region. I strongly oppose the relocation of the Los Angeles SBA Regional Office. Ms. Loeffler should focus on supporting small businesses, not stripping them of resources.” Last week, Rep. Cisneros questioned Administrator Loeffler on her decision to move SBA offices out of major economic hubs, fearing Los Angeles would be next. The letter was signed by Members of the Los Angeles Congressional Delegation and Small Business Committee Members, among others. Cosigners include: Rep. Thompson (CA-04), Rep. Brownley (CA-26), Rep. Chu (CA-28), Rep. Rivas (CA-29), Rep. Friedman (CA-30), Rep. Sherman (CA-32), Rep. Gomez (CA-34), Rep. Torres (CA-35), Rep. Lieu (CA-36), Rep. Kamlager-Dove (CA-37), Rep. Sánchez (CA-38), Rep.
