In 2021, Democrats in the House passed a national ban on partisan gerrymandering.
Every single Senate Republican voted against it, blocking it from becoming law.

President Trump said that he would lower prices on "Day One."
But instead...
The cost of building housing has gone up.
The cost of gas has risen.
Tariffs are making food more expensive.
He's raising health insurance premiums.
All while giving tax cuts to billionaires.
President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” blocks Medicare from negotiating lower prices on three of the leading cancer medications.
He’s giving tax handouts to billionaires while preventing less expensive cancer treatment.
I’ve introduced a bill to repeal this ridiculous measure.
This is yet another reckless decision by Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Israel occupying Gaza won't help bring the remaining hostages home safely.
It won’t make Israel safer.
It will only continue to betray Israeli citizens and bring more suffering and death to innocent Gazans.
The Trump Administration plans to terminate $7 billion meant for solar energy projects in underserved communities.
This will force working families to pay steeper electricity bills and hurt our clean energy workforce, all while filling the wallets of Big Oil.
Come join me in South Hero on Tuesday at 5:30pm for a listening session focused on the economy.

Bookmarking this for the next time Republicans complain about how we can’t improve health care or build renewable energy projects because of the national debt.
El Salvadorian President Bukele's plan to stay in power forever was predictable.
He's bragged about being a dictator who treats prisoners worse than caged animals.
The U.S. must enforce our own laws and treat Bukele as the corrupt human rights violator he is.
My heart goes out to the service members at Fort Stewart and all of Georgia in the wake of today’s terrible active shooter incident.
On top of firing thousands of VA employees this year, the Trump Administration just severely limited abortion access to service members.
President Trump isn’t helping our veterans, he’s just making it harder for them to receive essential care.
President Trump is demanding Big Pharma CEOs lower medication prices in America to what other countries around the world pay.
But him just asking them won't cut it.
I have a bill with Senator Hawley to actually enforce lower prices. President Trump should support it.
The Trump Administration is withholding hundreds of millions of dollars the CDC planned to use for:
—Gun violence research.
—Efforts targeting diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and tobacco use.
—Youth violence prevention programs.
The consequences will be devastating.
Last year, President Trump promised over and over again to voters he’d cover IVF treatment.
Not only has he abandoned that pledge, but he's also slashed health care for 17 million people in his tax and spending bill. It’s shameless.
While President Trump and Republicans are taking from the American people to give tax cuts to billionaires, I’ll continue working to improve the lives of working families in Vermont and across the country.
The smaller the farm, the more challenging it is for a dairy farmer to earn and stay recognized as an organic producer. I reintroduced the O DAIRY Act to provide a safety net for small organic producers facing heavy losses and collect data to help them prepare for the future.
The so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" was really one giant handout to Big Pharma and sells out folks using Medicaid. I led an effort to repeal new out-of-pocket expenses placed on care for our seniors, children, and people with disabilities, and close the loophole that lets drug companies charge more.
Right now, AI companies can build their models without sharing how they're doing it. I reintroduced legislation that gives musicians, writers, and other artists a legal pathway to learn if the work they own is being used by AI companies without proper consent or compensation.
President Trump has been waging an unnecessary and volatile trade war against Canada, the largest trading partner to Vermont and 33 other states. I introduced a bill to exempt small business owners from the painful tariffs being placed on our northern neighbor.
