Well, we have started our work in the new Congress, now under Kevin McCarthy's leadership, and I have to tell you... it is not looking good.
The first actions taken by the new Republican majority include:
- A radical attack on abortion rights
- Slashing customer service staff at the IRS, making it harder for regular folks to get answers
- Slashing auditors at the IRS, making it easier for the wealthy and big corporations to dodge paying their fair share of taxes
- Gutting the Office of Congressional Ethics, making it much tougher to hold Members of Congress accountable when they break the rules or misbehave
- Denying the permanent extension of the child tax credit to reduce poverty
Those are not my priorities, and I know they are not yours.
Even as I am voting "no, no, no" on all the nonsense, here are my priorities and what I'm doing for my neighbors in Northwest Washington and folks across the country:
- Staying focused on transportation, including getting answers from the FAA and the airlines about unforeseen delays and canceled flights
- Demanding accountability for public services, including the unacceptable delays in mail delivery in our communities
- Ensuring that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law delivers on creating good, family-wage jobs and tackling the climate crisis
- Protecting voting rights across the country
- Protecting Social Security and Medicare
If that sounds good to you, I hope you will make an early investment in our 2024 campaign to help us build the campaign we are going to need to take back the House.
It will make a critical difference!
