We must work to protect access to the ballot box, ensure States and localities have the funding and resources they need to conduct free and fair elections, protect election workers from harassment and threats.
There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the United States elections.
Ensuring that they have the resources and support they need remain my top priority.

In other words, we can make communities healthier, and simultaneously establish good-paying jobs.
It is for this reason that I am serving as the Democratic lead sponsor on the Carbon Capture and Utilization Parity Act this Congress.
If we want to compete against China, it makes sense for us to provide robust job training benefits to workers negatively impacted by Chinese trade.

This includes passing legislation like the Leveling the Playing Field Act 2.0, introduced last Congress by Representative Sewell and Bill Johnson.
In order for us to truly address the People's Republic of China's harmful tax, I mean trade policies, we need more than rhetoric. We need action.
I think that anytime a voter, a legitimate voter finds it harder, more difficult to vote, is not given access to vote, it is a bad thing.

I am very concerned that President Lopez Obrador is seriously threatening the progress and good will that has been established since the implementation of the USMCA.
Equality is giving everyone the same opportunity. Equity? Equity is acknowledging that not everybody starts at the same place.
It is my belief that our federal budget must present opportunities for all Americans to achieve economic prosperity.
I want to join Representative Tenney in applauding President Biden's proposed budget for including a permanent extension of New Market Tax Credits.
We should applaud increases in voter turnout, not respond to them with new restrictions to voting.
The violent struggle for voting rights and equal access to the ballot box is not one of a distant past.
