    We need an aggressive approach to end the epidemic of gun violence in our country. My new plan would: ✅Keep guns out of the wrong hands ✅Hold gun manufacturers accountable ✅Bring the fight to the NRA

    Paid family leave is good for families, good for the economy, and should be guaranteed in New Hampshire and every state across our country. Deeply disappointed in this decision.

    The Democrats’ solution to paid leave — Senate Bill 1 (SB1) — is an income tax and make no mistake, the people of New Hampshire do not support that approach. Today, I unequivocally VETOED the Democrats’ income tax.

    Thank you for having me on today to discuss my plan to end the gun violence epidemic. We can't be a country that has shootings in our schools, our churches, our synagogues, and on our blocks and not do anything about it.

    Licensing for guns. Closing loopholes. Commonsense gun regulation. A number of things could help us stay safe and keep guns out of the wrong hands. We have to take action. Now.

    This week, published an editorial that called my plan to end gun violence "dangerous." In response, I wrote an op-ed on the importance of addressing this epidemic to save lives. They rejected it. So we're publishing it instead. Read it here:

    I am proud to sign the to support . Justice for all isn't possible if we continue to support a system of unpaid internships—we need to level the playing field to ensure everyone has an opportunity to achieve upward mobility.

    Imagine never going through the pain of a miscarriage or facing the decision of whether to have an abortion and still feeling like you have the right to make decisions about a woman's body and access to health care.

    I support Uber and Lyft drivers in their strike today as they say enough to unfair wages and mistreatment. Let's all demand livable wages, better working conditions and job security for drivers and workers across the country.

    Black women are dying from preventable conditions during & after childbirth. We can do something about that. The MOMMIES Act would extend Medicaid coverage for postpartum women to a year. Maternal health care isn’t just about pregnancy—it’s about keeping mothers healthy & alive.

    A couple of days ago released the most ambitious plan to address gun violence of any 2020 candidate yet. In 2016 and before every campaign saw guns as a third rail loosing issue, now they all have a plan because we proved it was in 2018.

    Georgia's "fetal heartbeat" law is an all-out-attack on women that will strip them of rights before many even know they are pregnant. I will fight to protect Roe v. Wade—abortion is health care.

    We need to be strengthening worker protections and empowering unions, not gutting them. We need to make it easier to join a union, not harder. Grateful to have the opportunity to speak with workers at today.

    It’s been a year since the Trump Administration announced its zero tolerance policy. Today, families are still being separated. Please call 202-224-3121 to urge your members of Congress to vote YES on the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act.

    Why should toy guns be subject to more federal regulation than real ones? It’s time to change that.
