    Whether it’s discriminatory voter ID laws, questionable purges of voter rolls, or voter intimidation – GOP controlled state legislatures are making it harder for voters to cast their ballot. My op-ed on why we must act to protect Americans’ right to vote:

    By our count, 16 million people were removed from voter rolls b/w 2014 and 2016. Most of that spike was driven by states in the south once under federal oversight...until the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act.

    Thousands of immigrant families risk their lives traveling to America to have a chance to raise their families in a safe community with more opportunity. It's growing even more dangerous to make the journey. We must have their backs when they get here.

    Honored to have received a 97 on ’s Congressional Scorecard. I am committed to fighting for the community, and to protect and advance the rights of all Americans. No one should ever face discrimination because of who they are, or who they love.

    We are 21 days away from midterms, but this matter of national security still hasn’t been addressed. It’s irresponsible and irrational to fail to act to protect our democracy. The GOP needs to reevaluate their priorities.

    The public charge rule is meant to scare immigrant families, including those who qualify for CHIP & SNAP, from applying to health and food assistance programs. Trump will continue to push immigrants into the shadows, and we will continue to fight against his efforts.

    These immigrants fear using public aid for U.S. citizen kids will hurt chances at legal status

    The freedom of the press has been brutally violated, yet Trump remains silent on Twitter. Jamal Khashoggi is an American journalist. We need answers from Saudi Arabia. Without a full transparent investigation, there should be consequences.
