From Utah to Arizona and Michigan, voters choose to vote from home and it works. Efforts to eliminate it ignore the facts and overstep federal authority. We must protect this essential right.

Vote at Home is secure, proven, and trusted by 40M+ Americans. Now it’s under attack by those who want to limit your freedom to vote. We’re fighting back.

Let’s continue to push for inclusive voting reforms.

Today, I'm introducing a bill to establish a national right to vote by mail.
All eligible voters should be able to participate in our elections, including folks who can’t make it to the polls due to age, illness, disability, work obligations, or any other reason. (1/3)
