Pass it on...

I'll be the first to tell you how proud I am to be a House Democrat -- especially in times like these. The coronavirus crisis has placed long-standing systemic issues under the national spotlight -- including Americans' unequal access to health care. That's why House Democrats …

True colors

When nearly 40 million people lost their jobs because of COVID-19, Linda was championing the country's largest stimulus package in history to help working Americans. When small businesses were shuttering their doors nationwide, Linda was helping pass the CARES Act to keep them af…

There's a lot of work to be done if we're going to change this country for the better. The fairer, more just future we envision is possible, but we'll need people in Congress who know how to get things done.  Linda has a progressive track record that dates back to her days as a l…

Given the nationwide protests against police brutality, now is the time for Congress to take concrete steps to ensure no more Black lives are lost due to unnecessary and unlawful to police violence. That's why I'm supporting the Justice in Policing Act, which proposes actionable r…

A new way of policing

In the wake of George Floyd's death at the hands of a Minnesota police officer, we have seen Americans calling for police reform in every state. From protests in major cities to single-person marches in small towns, this country is ready for substantive police reform on a national…

Big cats are not pets.

I'll keep this simple: Big cats should not be held in private captivity. Breeding animals like lions, tigers, cheetahs, bobcats, cougars, and leopards for profit is inhumane and too often results in disaster -- for humans and big cats. If you, like me, believe big cats should not be ke…
