We need to put an end to individual stock trading by members of Congress, the president, and the vice president.
My discharge petition would bring a real stock trading ban to the House floor and help restore trust in our government.
Mr. President, read the Constitution.
Elections belong to the American people. Not you.
Thank you to all the local Rochester leaders who joined my Constituent Coffee Hour in Washington this week!
Grateful for the opportunity to meet with Monroe Community College in Washington.
MCC opens doors for thousands of students across our region. They're expanding access to affordable education and creating pathways to good-paying jobs right here in Rochester.
Proud to welcome Rochester’s UAW representatives to Washington.
Their advocacy helps ensure working families have a seat at the table and I'm committed to working with them to continue fighting for fair wages, safe workplaces, and a strong manufacturing future for our community.
Congressional Republicans are afraid to tell the truth: Donald Trump lost in 2020.
This is just one more attempt to rewrite history.
On Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, we honor a President who fought to preserve our democracy.
Today, we are reminded that the work of expanding freedom and opportunity is never finished. We must continue striving together toward a more perfect Union.
The Endangerment Finding protects Americans from harmful greenhouse gas pollution.
The Trump Administration's decision to roll it back ignores science and the more than 150 Members of Congress who urged them to keep this critical safeguard in place.
I’m ready to work across the aisle to get this done. It's not a partisan issue, it’s the right thing to do.
I'm grateful to the committee for their work on this.
I'm excited to see this legislation help provide stability for caregivers and ensure they have the same benefits provided to other members of our workforce.
Veteran caregivers give their all to support those who’ve served our country. It’s our duty to support them, too.
Today, the House Committee on Veterans Affairs held a mark up for my Veteran Caregiver 3R Act which would ensure they get the benefits and protections they deserve.
Today, we recognize the anniversary of the founding of the NAACP and celebrate more than a century of leadership in the fight for civil rights, justice, and equality.
Their work has shaped our nation for the better, and their mission remains as vital as ever.
We need to hold ourselves to a higher standard.
My legislation, the Restore Trust in Government Act, would root out real corruption. But Speaker Johnson has refused to bring forward any bill that bans Member stock trading.
The SAVE America Act is part of a coordinated effort by the Trump Administration to centralize partisan control over our elections.
They are stoking fear and mistrust of immigrants and our electoral system.
My discharge petition would force a vote to ban stock trading by Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President.
Public office relies on public trust, and the American people deserve leaders who are focused on serving them, not their portfolios.

If House Republicans want to advance voting rights for our country, we've got the Freedom to Vote Act ready.
Unlike the SAVE America Act, the FTVA would ensure all Americans can vote in secure, accessible, transparent elections.
Today is the last day to contribute to our Valentines for Veterans program!
Spread some love and show gratitude to the brave veterans across our region. Send in valentines or homemade cards to my Rochester office by February 11.

Donald Trump knows his agenda is deeply unpopular with Americans.
The two voter suppression bills being pushed by House Republicans are an attempt to change the rules so he doesn't lose.
