Union work is in my blood

John, This Labor Day, we pause to remember the struggle and celebrate the achievements of the labor rights movement. This movement is personal to me because my dad was a member of Retail Clerks #1179 for over 15 years. I grew up on union benefits as a kid, so when I was elected as …

John, I had the great privilege of serving alongside legendary civil rights activist John Lewis during his final years of Congress when he was working tirelessly to restore the Voting Rights Act. And two weeks ago I was proud to provide a critical vote in the House to pass H.R. 4, …
