    The President should spend less time listening to Rush Limbaugh and pass a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open. This is a manufactured crisis by the president that will not meaningful deal with border security and only hurting working Americans.

    The Green New Deal is a no brainer. It is an environmental imperative and it has bipartisan support, which should make it a top policy priority for the 116th Congress. We need to build a forward-looking Green economy, not rely on industries of the past.

    In 2019, House Dems will introduce HR 1, legislation that will implement sweeping reforms to our democracy. The bill includes public funding for elections, an end to gerrymandering & much more. It's time to take back our democracy. Thank you, for your leadership.

    Last week, House leadership suspended the 1973 War Powers Act, using the Farm Bill. I’ve asked them to reconsider that dangerous precedent. In the mean time, I’m objecting to voice votes in the House.
