Learn more about what my office has been up to this week Dear john, This was another busy week in Washington, and our work to enact safer gun laws and stand up for marriage equality and reproductive freedom continued. Here are some of the votes I took this week: On Wednesday night, the House Judiciary Committee voted to pass the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021, H.R. 1808. I am a proud cosponsor of this legislation, and I look forward to supporting it when it comes to a vote on the House floor. You can view my remarks in committee by clicking the image above. Earlier in the week on Tuesday, my colleagues and I in the House voted to pass H.R.8404, the Respect for Marriage Act, which enshrines marriage equality into federal law. At a time when many Americans have legitimate concerns about legal and legislative attacks against their freedom to live their lives freely and authentically, this was an important step for Congress to take. I continue to encourage my colleagues in the Senate to take swift action in approving this legislation so President Biden can sign it into law. On Thursday, I voted in favor of H.R.8373, the Right to Contraception Act, which upholds Americans’ basic right to access contraception. I am committed to preserving the rights and dignities of every person, everywhere, because the right for a woman to decide when she gets pregnant should not be up for debate. It is an honor to represent you in Congress, and I always want to hear about the things that are most important to you.
