Protecting Democracy
As the son of a civil rights lawyer, preserving a healthy democracy will always be one of my foundational priorities. There has been an alarming increase in attempts to disenfranchise voters in states across the country, and the federal government has a duty to stand against those anti-democratic efforts.
I was proud to cosponsor H.R. 1, the For the People Act, last Congress, which would end partisan gerrymandering, fix our broken campaign finance system, and protect access to the ballot box for Americans in every community.
