Hi John,

 

Next to my desk, I have a framed relic of the Jim Crow era – a poll tax receipt for the year 1948 that belongs to Mr. and Ms. RM English of Fort Worth – better known as my grandparents. 

Every day I walk into my office, I think of their struggles to access basic rights like the right to vote and the progress we have made since then because of people like Martin Luther King Jr.

 

Today's celebrations commemorate a man who fought for equality and justice for all. If it weren't for people like Martin Luther King Jr., we still might be paying the same poll taxes my grandparents paid decades later. 

 

As we reflect on his legacy today, we know that our fight for freedom and justice for all is far from over. We’re still fighting the same battles as Dr. King in states like Texas, where legislation has been advanced to undercut access to the ballot box for Black and Brown communities.

 

As co-founder of the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus, today underscores our work to live up to the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. In these challenging times we’re living in, it's never been more important for each of us to take action to create positive change.

 

Thank you, and stay warm this MLK Day.

 

Marc

The new TX-33

Growing up in Fort Worth’s historic Como neighborhood, I used to dream about opportunities that would allow me a chance to experience things that filled my imagination; about American heroes and fascinating places in our country. I dreamed that I could one day make a difference in the lives of my friends and neighbors. It was that simple goal that eventually led me to Washington and the halls of Congress. 

 

For a decade, I have been humbled by the ongoing support and encouragement of the community that raised me. Today, I’m asking for it again.
