    An absolute disgrace. I introduced a bill that would guarantee back pay to federally-contracted retail, food, custodial and security service workers furloughed during a . Low-wage contract workers and federal employees deserve to be made whole after any shutdown.

    A shutdown could snatch wages from thousands of janitors and security guards, too -- and right before the holidays.

    I wrote the USPS Postmaster General regarding widespread reports by DC residents of unreliable and failed mail delivery, as well as a lack of USPS responsiveness. I'm also looking to host a forum with USPS to help the community get responses quickly and resolve delivery issues.

    The will enact important reforms to our federal prison system. I ensured that DC Code felons, who are housed in BOP facilities, are covered by the bill. They can earn good time credits and secure early release by participating in recidivism reduction programs.

    Proud to introduce a bill with to block Trump proposal to reorganize and relocate two USDA research agencies, threatening their independence and mission. These agencies should stay in the National Capital Region, where they belong.

    USDA’s plan to uproot NIFA & ERS is absolutely unnecessary and threatens to weaken these key research agencies when our food system and economy need them most. Introducing HR 7330 to keep them right where they are (1/2)

    The opioid crisis is devastating communities across the nation, including right here in the District of Columbia. I’m a signatory of a letter urging our incoming Democratic House majority leaders to prioritize federal assistance to combat the opioid crisis in DC and nationwide.

    Opioid abuse is often associated w/ white, rural/suburban parts of the U.S. But a new wave of the epidemic is decimating black heroin users in cities -- and the nation's capital is ground zero. w/
