Key Issues

Since 2007, serving in the House of Representatives, I have authored, introduced, and led successful efforts to pass dozens of key legislation that have been passed through committee and brought up before the entire legislative body for a vote, and key bills enacted into law. These legislative achievements were primarily under many issue areas impacting my constituents and the American people. My key issue areas, including digital equity, energy and environment, equitable health care, and immigration, have been the basis of many amendments, committee work, constituent services, and oversight during the 117th- 119th Congress.
