Cori wants to check in

When Cori was elected, she committed to representing and advocating for the issues that matter most to us in Congress — and that means checking in with you and your needs every step of the way. John, we can’t be part of a movement for the people without making sure the people's voice is bein…

Cori is making all the headlines!

Cori’s only been in office for 21 days and she’s already impressed millions of Americans with her courage and commitment to fighting for bold change.  Cori is making all the headlines, John. Last week, Teen Vogue announced that Cori will be on their January cover! Cori’s only been in offi…

There’s no time to waste

These are the fights I will be focused on. I will not rest until Congress and Biden’s administration enacts the transformative change our country needs. John,  This week, we celebrated President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s monumental inauguration. After four years of bigotry,…

Did you see this op-ed that Cori wrote in the Washington Post? Did you see this op-ed that Cori wrote in the Washington Post, John? In the article, Cori shares her own experiences being tear-gassed by police and arrested for peacefully protesting in defense of Black lives. She shows a shar…

The hatred we saw last Wednesday is not new

While we must place blame on these insurrectionists themselves — we must also hold members of Congress accountable who attempted to overturn our election and incited this white nationalist violence. John, new details from federal prosecutors prove what we already know was true: last Wednesday…

I voted to impeach the white supremacist-in-chief

During the impeachment debate, I called him what he is: the white supremacist-in-chief. John,  Yesterday, a majority of my colleagues and I in the House voted to impeach Trump for the second time.  I was proud to vote yes for impeachment and share why it’s so critical we remove the “white sup…

GOP representatives just BOOED Cori on the House floor

Cori showed us today that she isn't afraid to speak out against white supremacy and the dangerous rhetoric that puts us in danger every day. We need to show Republicans that her courage today is exactly the kind of leader we need in Congress. John, Cori just stood on the House floor during th…

I am taking our outrage to Congress, John

People are struggling and need help. But, right now, our Congress is failing us. So, when I get sworn in in less than two weeks, I’m going to fight as hard as I can to get everyday people the relief we need. John, $600 is not enough. We need at least $2,000 survival checks monthly for COVID r…

For so many people, the difference between $1,200 and $600 is massive. Cori has been unhoused. She has lived paycheck-to-paycheck. She knows that $600 is the difference between having a motel room or sleeping in your car. John, regular, everyday people need real relief right now. As Congress…

Our chance to end the death penalty and save 52 lives

The death penalty isn't about justice. It never has been. It's all about power — specifically, who has it and who does not. John, as you read this, 52 people are awaiting execution on federal death row. That means 52 human beings are being legally tortured by our federal government and a brok…
