    Today’s vote on H.R. 1 was a vote to restore transparency, accountability, & unity to government. It’s time we restore our elections back to the values that they were originally founded on, “a government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

    I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Lonnie King Jr. & I send my condolences to his family. We have lost one of the civil rights movement’s unsung heroes, a leader, teacher, & man of upright character, but he will not be forgotten.
