I have made fighting for our Democracy and protecting voting rights a top priority during my first term in Congress. I am proud to be a leader on the Task Force on Strengthening Democracy. We are working to protect elections from voter suppression, partisan sabotage, gerrymandering, and dark money. This work builds upon my previous work along with others in the State Assembly to establish universal vote-by-mail in California, and combat dark money in our state elections with passage of the California DISCLOSE Act which I authored.
