transparency and accountability

Katie recently introduced a bill to force Donald Trump's family to disclose their financial dealings -- especially with foreign entities.  This is exactly what we all want to see from Democrats in Congress. We're so proud to support Katie and her efforts.  But make no mistake -- going after…

As the holiday season approaches, many families are struggling to make ends meet. Meanwhile, in the first year since the Trump tax law, nearly three dozen large companies reported an effective tax rate of 0% or less. This is not tax fairness. Katie has led a bipartisan effort to pressure H…
