There is a piece of legislation that I have co-sponsored, along with Congressman Poe and Congresswoman Lofgren to update the Electronics Communications Privacy Act.

I am proud to be introducing a resolution tomorrow that... will highlight the importance of specialty crops.

I am always concerned about the amount of money that we spend for defense and other military purposes.

I was born in Alabama, as you know, so it was also incredibly important for me to have the opportunity to participate.
