Raphael Warnock

I have long been a big supporter of Medicaid, Medicaid expansion, Medicaid as the primary source of coverage for long-term services and supports in the United States.

Providing care would actually enable people to work, which is an interesting observation.

It is an issue I have been working on for a while and continue to work on.

But in the end, if the people can have their voice in a democracy is not a democracy.

I`m having conversations with my colleagues all the time. And I think that the statement, unfortunately made by the Republican leader on yesterday, that says he doesn`t even want to support John Lewis suggests that they don`t understand…

I`ve talked to Joe Manchin as a colleague, and not only him but other members of the caucus, and we`re having important and I think productive conversations on both sides of the aisle. There will be some back and forth, some…

It is important that Congress address more than just NIL in any potential legislation.

I believe that by working together with athletes, coaches, athletic directors, and other involved parties, we can develop NIL legislation that benefits athletes and universities.

Congress could design NIL legislation that would require colleges to offer student-athletes training and other valuable resources that advance their education and health.

I am proud that we are elevating the health, professional, and academic needs of America's college athletes in the discussion regarding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) legislation.

This disparity will cause long-term damage and have consequences beyond our economy, spilling into housing, instability, food insecurity, and the well-being of our children.

The issue is, because of the gender wage gap the likelihood that the female applicant's salary history will show a history of much lower earnings than the male applicant is simply why requesting previous salary histories has a disparate…

A Bureau of Labor statistics study found that working women, particularly women of color, have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

So being underpaid rather than skill and experience becomes a basis for being underpaid, and underpaid in the past, underpaid in the future.

I was deeply disappointed that our colleagues on the other side were unwilling to even have a real debate about this, about the wage gap and the Paycheck Fairness Act.

We should ask what these numbers look like for women. And are these jobs providing equitable and liveable wages for women.

We got to make sure that the people have their voice and our own democracy. And unfortunately, we`re living in a moment in which there is one party that has decided that rather than adjust their message, they want to shift and distort the…

We need the John Lewis Voting Rights Act because it has the powerful tool called preclearance which will protect future elections. We got to find a way to protect the assault on democracy that`s happening right now.

Rural areas deserve public transit as well, and while there are fewer people there is often more ground to cover.

We have got to provide more funding and we have got to lower the barrier.

I remain hopeful, I think that Joe Manchin understands, that this is a defining moment in American history and that our children are going to judge us, grand children are going to judge us based on what we do right now to preserve them for…

The letter actually complained that the relief program will cut into the banks' profits.

This past weekend, I was honored to be in Fort Valley, Georgia, along with Agriculture Secretary Vilsack for the rollout of the Debt Relief for Socially Disadvantaged Farmers Program I fought to secure in the American Rescue Plan.

I think this is a critical issue, and it is the reason I am introducing the Real Estate Valuation Fairness and Improvement Act along with Senator Klobuchar to help remedy these appraisal disparities which increase the racial wealth gap.

I think it is important for banks, especially the biggest banks, to be good corporate citizens.
