Republican-Led Shutdown
Government funding runs out in just 10 days. This Republican-led shutdown is entirely avoidable and unnecessary.

State Budget
Every day that Republicans in the General Assembly fight with each other over the state budget is another day that a mother with cancer or a grandfather with diabetes cannot access the care they need.

September 11, 2001
Remembering today the 2,977 souls we lost on September 11, 2001. We must never forget the bravery of our first responders running into harm’s way, the innocent victims who were starting their day like any other, and the families and survivors who continue to grieve 22 years later.
