Join us for Ted’s virtual birthday celebration!

NationBuilder Friend,If you had told me back in February, as I was planning Ted’s birthday party for March, that we’d be having a belated celebration for my husband over video chat, I wouldn’t have believed you. But the world looks so much different now than it did just a few mont…

Congress should look like America

NationBuilder Friend, When I was first elected to Congress in 2014, I was one of only eleven freshman House members of color. In 2018, when you helped elect the most diverse Congress in history, that number doubled -- year by year, little by little, Congress is beginning to look m…

Ted and his colleagues are the only ones standing in Trump's way

NationBuilder Friend, President Trump and the GOP may not have a plan for containing the coronavirus, but they certainly have a plan for putting the greatest number of Americans in the most amount of danger. It includes lying about our nation’s testing capacity, racing to reopen s…

If Trump won't help working families, we need to support leaders like Ted who will

ADD YOUR NAME: Get Trump to open up a special enrollment period for the ACA

NationBuilder Friend,There’s a lot we still don’t know about COVID-19, but one clear trend has emerged so far: Low-income communities -- that are most likely to be uninsured or under-insured -- are getting hit the hardest. Many of these Americans don’t have the luxury of shelterin…
