As millions
of families travel this summer, I’m working on legislation to make sure
you don’t get ripped off on your next trip:

✈️ Starting with flights: The airline industry has been consolidating for
years, and that’s led to higher prices. Now, there are reports that
JetBlue is trying to rig the process to merge with Spirit. I’ve been
scrutinizing this merger since it was first announced, and now I’m urging
the Department of Transportation to hold JetBlue accountable. I’ve also
introduced legislation to enforce prompt refunds for canceled flights and
stop airplanes from shrinking seats even further.

🚗 Then you go to rent a car: And you’re stuck waiting in line for hours,
only to be told the car you reserved isn’t there. My Rental Car Consumer
Protection Act would require rental car companies to provide you with the
vehicle you reserved within half an hour of the reservation time.

🏨 You make it to the hotel: I’ve called out Marriott for charging
excessive junk fees and asked the Federal Trade Commission to look into
it. Hotel chains received billions in federal aid during the pandemic and
are now seeing record profits, they must meet workers’ demands for more
fair pay and better working conditions. I’m standing proudly with the
Southern California hotel workers who are currently on strike.

🌲 My own family will be hitting the road this summer—and I know how
expensive traveling can be. That’s why I’ve pushed Congress to fund
programs that preserve our National Parks and make access affordable so
that families can get outside and spend time together.

Big
corporations shouldn’t be ripping you off. The work of holding powerful
companies like these isn’t popular in Washington because of the outsized
influence they play in our politics. [ [link removed] ]I don’t take a dime from corporate
PACs or federal lobbyists, can you chip in $10 today to help power our
campaign so I can continue this work in the U.S. Senate?
