I joined Talking Points Memo to talk about the real problems we should be focusing on with American elections.
Rather than chasing voter fraud that we know doesn't exist, we should be working to engage the 80 million eligible voters who chose not to vote in the 2024 election.

President Trump likes to say voting is a privilege.
A privilege is my grandson getting five more minutes of TV before bed. Voting is a right. One that preserves all others.
Without access to the ballot box, nothing else can be guaranteed.
I spoke with Talking Points Memo about what we’re seeing ahead of the next election and why preparation matters.
This isn’t hypothetical. It’s about protecting our democracy and being ready for what could come.

Grateful to be joined by Brian Lemek from Defend the Vote at this week's Anti-Corruption and Democracy Reform Task Force meeting.
Together we're working to protect our nation's elections and fight back against any attempt to silence American voters.
Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to submit to the 2026 Congressional Art Competition!
The winning piece will be showcased in the Capitol for the next year, representing our community.

To every American who is worried right now: we see you, we hear you, and we are ready to fight.
And we will not stop until the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is the law of the land.
I will not sit by and let this corrupt Supreme Court take away these hard-won freedoms. Nor will I let the Supreme Court strip away the people’s power.
Shame on President Trump and his cronies on the Supreme Court. It is not simply a court case. This is about our right to vote. For over 60 years, the Voting Rights Act has helped protect every American’s voice at the ballot box. People marched, fought, and died for that right.
We’re getting to work on funding priorities that matter for our communities.
Join me as a member of the House Appropriations Committee for today’s agriculture funding bill markup as we fight for investments in farmers, food security, and rural development:
At today’s address, King Charles referenced his sovereignty in the United Kingdom.
Monarchs may be sovereign. In the United States, the people are—we should never forget how hard fought that was.
Donald Trump’s Executive Order attempting to take over our elections is unconstitutional and unserious.
I’m proud to cosponsor the Find It Early Act.
Early detection saves lives, but far too many people face barriers to essential breast cancer screening. This bill will help ensure patients can access the care they need when it matters most.
President Trump is spending over $1 billion per day on his war with Iran while driving up gas prices here at home.
Hardworking families are paying the price.
Mr. President: America’s elections are not “rigged”; they are administered by the states, secured by law, and upheld by the courts. They are the envy of the world.
Your fearmongering serves only to undermine confidence, not strengthen it.
A quick reminder on the U.S. Constitution for my Republican colleagues:
Article I, Section 4 makes clear that the President has no role in administering our elections.
It’s #NationalApprenticeshipWeek!
Apprenticeships prepare the next generation of workers for their careers, while strengthening our community and local economy.
I’m committed to expanding these programs and connecting more young people to good-paying jobs.
What happened at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is deeply disturbing. Thankful the officer that was shot is expected to fully recover and grateful for the swift response from law enforcement.
There is no justification for political violence. This cannot become the new normal in America.
When I talk to business leaders here in Rochester, they all share the same feeling, predictability is critical to their success.
The Trump Administration brings nothing but chaos for our local businesses.
Time is running out!
We are accepting submissions for the 2026 Congressional Art Competition through April 30th.
The winning piece will be showcased in the Capitol for the next year, representing our community.

House Republicans may not like to hear it, but it's true. Donald Trump cannot accept he lost the 2020 election and as a result, he has dragged the entire Republican Party down a path that harms the American people.
