Our reproductive rights are under attack – and our only defense is the ballot box. Re-electing President Biden is the best thing we can do to stop Trump from continuing to stack the Supreme Court with extremists who want to strip us of our rights. There is no margin for error.
No child should go to school wondering if they're going to survive math class. We need decisive action to stop the epidemic of gun violence in this nation – and we need it now. Proud to stand with Moms Demand Action in this work.
We are praying for the safety of those in the region under threat right now by the Iranian regime’s first direct attack against our ally Israel. I applaud President Biden for his leadership preemptively forming a defensive coalition of neighboring countries to defend against this attack.
Representing 15k+ workers, the Pennsylvania Laborers' District Council are the backbone of our economy here in #PA12. They deserve fair wages, secure benefits, and safer workplaces – and I'm proud to have them on my team.
The United States Senate passed a critical, bipartisan bill to provide much-needed aide to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. House Republicans are refusing to bring it up – and my opponent Summer Lee is joining them in blocking a discharge petition. Time to stop the games.
My opponent Summer Lee just voted against the Iran Sanctions Accountability Act. A bipartisan bill (it passed 408-13) meant to ensure humanitarian aid reaches those it's meant to support – and not used to fund terrorism. An alarming – and telling – vote.
This week, Summer Lee shunned the vast majority of Democrats and voted against: - The No Paydays for Hostage Takers Act - The No Technology for Terror Act - The Solidify Iran Sanctions Act - The Iran Sanctions Accountability Act We deserve better than performative votes.
I think we can all agree that we should condemn Iran's unprecedented attack on Israel. Well – not Summer Lee. She just voted against ~95% of Democrats – refusing to condemn this assault on our ally.
Today, Summer Lee was the only Democratic member of the Pennsylvania delegation to vote against delivering aid to our allies – Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. She's woefully out of step with the values of our district and our state.
