Nurturing Future Leaders

Freedom To Vote Act

The Freedom to Vote Act just introduced in the Senate would strengthen our democracy by making it easier for people to vote and harder for politicians and special interests to drown out the voices of ordinary Americans. I support it, and every Senator should do the same.

Welcome

The refugees arriving to the United States from Afghanistan have stories just like ours. They have big dreams for themselves, hopes for their families, and lives they wish to build. I hope you'll join me and @WelcomeUs in welcoming them to the United States! https://t.co/03aS3REGiP

COVID-19 Community Corps

It was great speaking with @Surgeon_General Murthy and the COVID-19 Community Corps volunteers across the country who've been spending their time and energy encouraging their communities to get vaccinated. Their work is making a difference and will help us end this pandemic. https://t.co/t4yoLaibrU

Thank you @BarackObama for joining this week’s COVID-19 Community Corps call to honor the work our Corps members have done — not only to protect our nation from #COVID19, but to remind us that we can all be powerful sources of healing for one another. pic.twitter.com/vSYk6aBEnV

31 Million People

Great memories of an important day. 31 million people now have health insurance—and the peace of mind that comes with it—thanks to the Affordable Care Act. Now @POTUS is committed to making it even stronger through his Build Back Better plan. https://t.co/RRgs0heacp

The Affordable Care Act was — and is — a big deal. I’m committed to building on the progress we’ve made since its passing to ensure every American has access to the quality, affordable care they need. pic.twitter.com/y8PaxLVrzl

California: September 14th

California! You’ve got a big choice to make by September 14, and everything is on the line. Your vote could be the difference between protecting our kids or putting them at risk; helping Californians recover or taking us backwards. Vote “no” on the Republican recall.
