James R. Thompson: “We have to create 10,000 more John Thompsons. And we have to be the change we want to see in our communities.”

I am very concerned about the effect of the truncated schedule on both data collection and post data collection processing on the accuracy and quality of the 2020 Census.

I propose today that we end all budget negotiations until we really have a budget that says black lives matter in this state.

We have an immediate crisis here, and our farmers and American families could benefit from reversing some really detrimental policies.

I am of the opinion that there is a great risk that people in all communities, including Black and Latino, will see undercounts that were larger than in previous Censuses.
