There's a health crisis in America, and Republicans are to blame.
Since Republicans refuse to fix their mess, we're taking action.

I was so honored to join the groundbreaking celebration for Safe Passage DeKalb’s new, 24/7 shelter and see the federal funding I secured for this project being put to work for this incredible cause.

Safe Passage DeKalb is a lifeline for survivors of domestic, sexual, and dating violence in our community. I joined the groundbreaking for their new 24/7 shelter, an incredible space I secured $2.5 million in federal funding for.

What was the Broadview ICE facility like? Unsanitary, uncomfortable, and smelly. There was no food vendor or medical care available. The way immigrants and U.S. citizens have been treated there is unacceptable.

Parents afraid to walk their kids to school. Workers afraid to go to work. Local businesses suffering. The Trump Administration said they were going after the “worst of the worst” but all they’ve done is create chaos and fear in my community.
