The VRA has played a critical role in protecting individuals’ right to vote regardless of race, ethnic background, or level of income. As a member of the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus, I am committed to safeguarding the fundamental right to vote.
As your representative, I have a responsibility to protect this constitutional right to vote, and Congress must continue to ensure all Americans have their voices heard at the ballot box. #VRA53
