I've worked to elevate the voices of farmers, workers, & consumers across the U.S., sounding the alarm about the need to reform our food system. I introduced my farm package that'd mold our food system into one that is competitive, humane, & just.

Make no mistake: This action by House Republicans is an effort to stamp out dissenting and diverse voices. Congresswoman Omar is a dedicated public servant whose professional and lived experience has been valuable to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

This is my call to the international community:
Let's be ambitious. Let's end famine forever. Let's do it together.
And let's make that horrific 'f' word irrelevant once and for all.

In the U.S., up to 40% of all food is wasted, driving greenhouse gas emissions. We have to think boldly to reduce food waste, direct it to hungry people, and compost unrecoverable food. My Zero Food Waste and COMPOST Acts will do just that.

As someone who still seeks guidance from mentors, I know mentorship plays a critical role in the lives of children. I'm proud to introduce legislation that'd invest in high quality mentorship programs to provide children the support they need to thrive.

Today, Holocaust Remembrance Day, I'm thinking of millions of Jews and countless others whose lives were taken during the horror of the Holocaust. We know that even decades later we must continue to be vigilant and unwavering in our efforts against antisemitism and hatred.

The IRA provided a lifeline for farmers around the country struggling to hold on to their farms. But the IRA payments are taxable & farmers could end up deeper in debt. My bill would remove this tax liability so they can stay on path to financial stability.

If we want to address the institutional bias & racism that has impeded generations of African Americans, we must first fully document the harms of slavery & its dark history. I'm proud to again introduce bicameral legislation that'd do just that.

The U.S. leads the world in a shameful statistic: we have the highest maternal mortality rate among developed nations and one of the few countries where the rate has increased in recent decades. Congress must take swift action to change this & save lives.

When I went sugar-free this summer, I was shocked by how many added sugars and sweeteners were hidden in foods. This is why we need warning labels on packages so it’s easy for consumers to tell which foods have high levels of added sugars.

The insurrection on January 6th, 2021 was a day I will never forget. Every day we must choose to stand up for our democracy – like the dedicated Capitol staff and police officers, including the late Brian Sicknick – did that day.
