Wow. Senate Republicans voted today against The Right to Contraception Act, legislation I cosponsor in the House. It’s like Maya Angelou said, “when people show you who they are, believe them.” There is an extreme MAGA agenda that is putting our rights at risk.

Just dropped the legislative track of the summer: my resolution officially recognizing June as Black Music Month. June is when Black Americans celebrate their freedom, a story we’ve told through music. Black music has shaped lives and shaped our country – for the better.

On Tuesday, I joined Congresswoman Kaptur and Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick to call for legislation to put defibrillators into schools nationwide. With CPR every second counts, and when it comes to young people at risk of sudden cardiac arrest – every student counts.

House Democrats will never stop fighting to restore reproductive freedom and abortion rights, and will never stop fighting to protect access to birth control and IVF, so that every woman can make her own reproductive health care decisions.

The GOP Farm Bill includes billions in cuts to SNAP, a program that people across OH-11 rely upon. It reflects a bad process, bad faith, and a bad bill.

Today the House Agriculture Committee will vote on the #FarmBill. Republicans want the largest cut to food assistance in 30 years and to weaken conservation & climate efforts. It’s wrong for NE Ohio and the country. We need a bipartisan Farm Bill that doesn’t punish families.
