I’m pleased to be an original cosponsor of the #JUSTICEAct. Thank you to @RepPeteStauber and @SenatorTimScott for introducing this legislation to help prevent violence and ensure better training for law enforcement officers. bit.ly/3ei5K3g

Some of us may be celebrating today from a distance, but we can still make the best of it and let our mothers know we appreciate everything they do. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there raising the future leaders of our country!

Nurses risk their own health every day to care for our communities during normal circumstances, and now on the frontlines of this pandemic. Let us honor their heroism by staying home and practicing safe social distancing measures. Thank you to all nurses. #NationalNursesWeek

Native women and girls face brutal violence at alarming rates and it can no longer be ignored. That’s why I cosponsored the #NotInvisible Act to combat these violent crimes. On this National Day of Awareness for #MMIW, let’s stand together to raise awareness and end the crisis.
