Congress should pass my legislation, the Presidential Tax Transparency Act to require the President to release his tax returns, ensuring that the highest office in the land is held to the highest standard of transparency.

The American people have no way of knowing the magnitude this loophole represents to the President without the release of his tax returns.

President Trump has more conflicts of interest than any president in our history. According to his candidate filing w/ the @FEC, he has 564 financial positions in companies in the US & around the world, including relationships w/ state-affiliated businesses in several countries.

We must end discrimination against LGBTQ individuals in employment, housing and education. I’m committed to achieving these civil rights and grateful to have the Human Rights Campaign as a partner.

I’m proud that the Know the Cost Act, legislation I introduced with 9 colleagues to eliminate gag clauses was signed into law last week. By lifting these outrageous restrictions, this legislation will help families in my District & across the country to save costs of medications.

Our country’s immigration policies should reflect our values. Instead, this rule punishes those who are trying to pursue the American dream.

The rule is designed to clearly disallow immigrants from seeking the health care & food assistance they & their families may have an urgent need for.
