It should follow the facts and evidence and the needs of States and should not matter at all the political orientation of a State.

One immediate step that the administration could take to relieve the burden on our communities would be to increase the Federal cost share of FEMA-eligible expenses.

California often found itself being shortchanged by Federal Government grant programs, particularly those that are discretionary.

I certainly don`t sense that, not in the last couple of weeks, as a conversation has been around impeachment.

It's not just that the members of the Senate... are the victims of what happened on January 6. The trial itself is happening at the scene of the crime.

Republicans can't have it both ways. They're in this job to execute the oath of office that we have all sworn to do, to uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Nobody is above the law. Donald Trump must be held accountable. But it does not end with him.

I just want to say thank you and please know I will make you proud and make California proud by getting it done in the U.S. and we've got a lot of work to do. And now I'm ready. I'm ready.

God, I certainly hope not. Look, even though Trump's days are numbered, like millions of Americans, can't wait for January 20th, I think the remnants of Trump are going to linger and we're going to have to commit ourselves to the long haul…

The House of Representatives has already taken a significant step in passing the HEROES Act.

California law empowers voters to decide for themselves who they trust to return their ballot for them.

The California voters will not have to choose between exercising their right to vote and protecting their health.

if we are really concerned about, you know, the unfortunate disenfranchisement of so many eligible citizens, then we should fully fund the U.S. Postal Service and we should fully fund elections.

There is no reason for no-excuse vote-by-mail to not be in effect nationally when the security measures show that it works.

We are certainly hoping to properly support and fund the U.S. Postal Service so that members of the military... can participate in our democracy and not be disenfranchised.

California law requires counties to contact the voter if there is any issue with that signature.

I want to talk about the two greatest threats to a free, fair, and safe election this November: the COVID-19 pandemic and election disinformation.

Voters will have those alerts, including confirmation of when their ballot is received and counted.

the fundamental right to vote, to making it easier for eligible citizens to register to vote and to stay registered and to cast their ballot, should not be a partisan issue.

Voter fraud is exceedingly, exceedingly rare, so the current safeguards are working.

California's share of last year's appropriation was about $34 million.

So there is an element to H.R. 1 that establishes not just time tables for EAC--or excuse me--DHS testing and certification of voting systems prior to their being used by States.

the safeguards are working, by and large.

If your premise is, look, this is the United States of America, and if you are 18 years or older and a citizen with minimal exceptions, you have the right to vote, exercise that right vote without any--without any unnecessary obstacles…
