John, we have some exciting news to share:
Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed a bill to create a "9/11-style" commission to investigate the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. The bill passed 252-175, with 35 Republicans voting alongside Democrats.
This win echoes a key part of the COUP Act, which was Jamaal's first piece of legislation in Congress. Forming a 9/11-style commission was a huge part of that bill, and it was a groundbreaking piece of legislation that was the first of its kind to call for an investigation between the January 6th attack, Capitol Police, and white nationalism. Now, we have to ensure that this commission works transparently to get the answers and accountability the American people need.
Wins like this prove exactly why it's so important to continue pushing for change we deserve in Washington. Bold and progressive ideas are no longer "radical" or out of left field; they are popular and winning.
John, things like the COUP Act and passing bold legislation is only possible if we work together. Jamaal is determined to continue disrupting the status quo and fighting for our communities, but he can't do it alone.
In solidarity,
Team Bowman
