The women and men of the Capitol Police are heroes. Their actions on January 6th saved our lives and may well have saved our democracy.

The Speaker provided unfettered access to sensitive Capitol security footage to Tucker Carlson, an entertainer who said the January 6th attack was a 'false flag operation' and that the rioters were 'peaceful.'
House Democrats will continue to combat the rampant use of dark money with legislation like the Freedom to Vote Act, DISCLOSE Act, and other measures to strengthen our campaign finance laws.
I would also note, American taxpayers under our bill will not pay a single penny to fund the campaigns of candidates participating in the small donor system.
Strong disclosure requirements can help educate voters about candidates, policies, and sources of political speech, promoting informed decision making in the electoral process.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly stated that disclosure requirements are essential to safeguarding the ability of the citizenry to make informed choices.
House Democrats will continue advancing pro-voter, pro-transparency measures in bills like the Freedom to Vote Act, DISCLOSE Act, and Honest Ads Act among them.
I am committed to upholding Americans' First Amendment right to support candidates, causes, organizations of their choice without fear or retribution.
