Press Release

Earlier this week, at an election security forum hosted by Committee on House Administration member Jamie Raskin (MD-08) and special guest Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05), members of the public heard from election security experts and public officials about the safety of our election infrastructure headed into the 2018 midterm elections.

Throughout our history, this country has been strengthened by the courage and devotion of Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice under our flag. 

I am pleased that Democrats and Republicans were able to come together, as we historically have, to pass a bipartisan defense authorization bill. 

This letter is a sad example of the petulance and shallowness of the foreign policy being pursued by this President.

Unable to repeal the Affordable Care Act and pass their dangerous TrumpCare law, President Trump and Republicans in Congress have instead worked to sabotage our nation’s health care system.

For the second week in a row, Republicans seem to believe that they can rebrand a tax law that advantages the wealthy over the middle class with a Congressional hearing packed with cherry-picked witnesses. 

While I am pleased that the House came together to pass Rep. Jeffries’s First Step Act today, I hope it can truly be seen as just a first step toward legislation that addresses sentencing disparities. 

Mr. Speaker, in the wake of the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression, the Congress enacted, over the opposition of our friends in the Republican party, mostly, the Dodd-Frank reforms to safeguard our economy and safeguard consumers.
