I'm humbled to have their support and grateful to have their counsel in this campaign.

On this National Peace Officers Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who lost their lives making our streets safer and our families more secure.

I am also pleased that the bill includes my proposal to help thousands of African-American farmers get their discrimination claims reviewed under the Pigford settlement.
