One piece is the Summer Meals Act, which I have long championed with Senator Murkowski.

National universal school meals for all students is a fundamental education and health equity issue.

We need to ensure that our children have access to quality education and that they are prepared for the future.

We have to ensure that women are treated equally in the workplace and that they are paid equally for equal work.
