10/02/2020 Tweet - "We have 4% of the world's population, but 20% of the world's coronavirus deaths. I urge the Trump Administration to put partisan politics and ideology aside, embrace our nation's long history of science, and finally show the leadership we need to get this pandemic under control."
10/01/2020 Tweet - "Today we remember the innocent lives that were lost 3 years ago during a mass shooting in Las Vegas. We cannot continue to ignore gun violence in this country. We must pass common sense gun violence legislation into law so we prevent tragedies like this from happening again."
