All of these accomplishments that Representative Hill and I have outlined that this freshman class has accomplished I think demonstrate that the freshman class is continuing to deliver for the people. Nearly 100 days into our…

I don't want to brag, but I will. Congressman Jared Golden, from the great State of Maine, is advocating to lower the cots of prescription drugs for his constituents.

America should and can afford to provide a proper safety net to our elderly, our sick, and our poor.

It is only once or twice in your career when you are about to take a vote and your Chief of Staff comes in and says, 'You know, Bill, I know how you are going to vote on this and I am proud of how you are going to do it, but it is my job…
