The Good Jobs for Good Airports Act will make sure federal investments in our nation’s airports also support the workers who keep them running.
Airlines have consolidated power and raked in profits while airport service workers struggle to make ends meet.
These workers serve through extreme temperatures, holiday travel surges, and even pandemics — yet too many still struggle with low pay, unaffordable care, and rising costs.
The federal government should be able to provide emergency grants for emergency situations. This legislation would authorize grants for clean water and drinking water, so we can spend more time keeping our communities safe and local…
Water system emergencies spell disaster for their communities—they’re expensive, bad for business, and dangerous to public health. Our communities deserve clean water and quick access to support in response to emergency situations that put…
Western Maryland has so much to offer our state and our entire nation, that’s why it is so critical that we improve our infrastructure, make sure young people have access to apprenticeship and trade programs, and maintain all the…

Every day, thousands of airport workers get passengers to their next destination, but many don’t make enough to cover their basic needs. The Good Jobs for Good Airports Act will make sure federal investments in our nation’s airports also…
Every Arizonan deserves to be fairly compensated for their hard work, including the men and women who keep our airports running smoothly.
Providing airport workers with fair compensation and protections is long overdue. Airlines have consolidated power and raked in profits while airport service workers struggle to make ends meet.
It’s a no-brainer that we should be paying our airport service workers fairly for all they do to keep our transportation systems safe and running. I’m fighting hard alongside Senator Markey to make sure airport workers finally get the…
Airport workers keep millions of Americans moving every day—and a job that keeps America moving should be a job that lets a family get ahead. The Good Jobs for Good Airports Act will raise wages, strengthen benefits, and ensure these…
Our airports – and the workers that keep them running – are critical to our economy, moving millions of people and goods throughout our country every day. It’s past time these workers see the pay, benefits, and working conditions that they…
We have an obligation to do more than say thank you to those who served our country. We must ensure veterans have the health care they need, housing that is affordable and safe, and opportunities to generate wealth and truly thrive.
We can never fully repay our veterans for their sacrifice in serving our country. But we have a duty to support them when they return home – and that includes ensuring they have every opportunity to succeed.
We call on our respective Committees to hold hearings to investigate the national security implications of President Trump’s cryptocurrency holdings.
The disclosures heighten concerns about the President pushing Congress to pass crypto legislation in favor of the very industry he’s cashing in on.
President Trump’s new financial disclosures reveal the Trump family crypto ventures generated the vast majority of his income – about $1.4 billion in the first year of his second term alone.
For all their talk about being the party of 'family values,' Republicans are going out of their way to make it more difficult, dangerous, and expensive to start a family in this country.
Maternity wards across America are shuttering their doors as a direct result of Republican Medicaid cuts.
This investment in Oregon State University’s NSF FAST Engine will further supercharge Oregon’s innovative semiconductor industry.
It’s always a good day when Oregon takes our deserved spot in the “FAST lane” for national leadership in semiconductor innovation and manufacturing.
The Netanyahu government’s actions in Gaza and West Bank make clear that the current Israeli government’s actions are not aligned with U.S. interests and the safety of civilians.
