I heard from a family... who spends $1,500 a month on diabetic supplies for her daughter, who has type 1 diabetes.

Even though I had good benefits, I could not even imagine what it would be like for a family that didn't have the ability to have the kind of healthcare that I had the fortune of having.

I am a two-time breast cancer survivor and I understand what it is like to have your life completely turned upside down overnight.

We know that 50 percent of people who experience stalking experiences, they experience some form of violence.

Changing the actuarial assumptions used by multiemployer plans to be closer to what the single employer plans use would make the crisis even worse.

The cost of PBGC's failure will be extraordinary and will result in a loss of tax revenue and higher demands on Federal, state and local government safety nets.

We need to raise the minimum wage to help families make ends meet, but we also need to do it in a way that protects jobs and small businesses in our communities.

The Federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 per hour since 2009.

It is time for us to raise the minimum wage and to have these very, very important conversations.

In a country that we say is the greatest country in the world, my God, you ought to be able to go to a school, church, synagogue, concert, movie theater, and nightclub, not just in Orlando, but in any city in this country, and not have to…
