Welcome to my website! We've designed the site with you in mind - as a way to keep you informed about the work I'm doing in Washington and as a way for you to get more involved in the political process.
My story? For many years, I've been fighting in Congress in defense of the American Dream - the expectation that by working together, all Americans have a chance to make a better life for themselves and their families through hard work and a fair deal in the workplace. Sadly, Republican policies over the last generation have put all this under threat - Social Security, Medicare, Education and a host of other programs that are part of the very fabric of America have been under constant attack by the right-wing and it's only through the efforts of concerned, patriotic Americans like you that we can hope to stem the tide.
So volunteer, subscribe to my email list, send us a message - and, of course, your financial support is invaluable as we counter the big-money interests who are threatening to hijack our political process.
Thank you for stopping by and for your support - together we can keep America working - now, and forever.
