03/02/2022 Tweet - "During the State of the Union #SOTU, President Biden called for the Senate to pass the DISCLOSE Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections. And he's absolutely right. I'm working for the Senate to pass the DISCLOSE Act to fight the scourge of dark money in politics."

01/19/2022 Tweet: Senate Democrats won't be deterred With no support from the Senate GOP--many denying voter suppression even exists--we faced an uphill battle in this vote But every Senator's now on record Americans see who's for voting rights It only strengthens our resolve to protect voting
01/19/2022 Tweet: The Big Lie has paved the way for a naked attempt by partisan legislators to re-write the rules of our elections to make it harder to vote Our voting rights bills can put a stop to it NOW But if the GOP blocks this vote--we must change the rules of the Senate to pass these bills
