“The United States is losing good-paying union jobs because it’s become too expensive to film here,” said Congresswoman Sánchez. “This isn’t about the actors who star in films and can travel for a shoot. It’s about the production crews and set builders, the backbone of the film industry. Our bill would create incentives to bring those jobs back home and boost local economies, not just in California, but across the country.”
Create a federal tax credit for film and television productions made in the United States to bring production jobs back to the country and support local economies.

Assessments
Verified evidence shows Sanchez materially participated in introducing bipartisan legislation to create a federal film tax incentive, but the bill was only referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means as of 2026-10-02. Because the commitment is an outcome promise to create incentives and bring production jobs back, introduction and referral show effort but not enactment or a documented partial outcome.
