Speaker Johnson continues to refuse to call the House into session so that we can negotiate a compromise to end this shutdown, but my Democratic colleagues and I are still showing up week in and week out on behalf of our constituents. This week in Washington, I took part in several activities designed to raise awareness about the impact of this shutdown and how constituents—no matter their political affiliation—will be hurt by exorbitant increases in their health care.
I believe that everyone should be able to see a doctor when they need to—and not have to skip rent payments in order to keep their insurance. House Democrats and I are united behind saving health care and hearing the stories of American people. Republican leadership is nowhere to be seen.
