Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.

I've been condo-sitting in downtown Portland for the last month, and it's been a very interesting experience. I keep hearing people describe this area as "broken" or "dangerous" or "depressing" but that really hasn't been my experience...

Welcome to Congress. First lesson, be sure to fact check.
As a proud #WalkAway I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. If you voted for Biden or stayed at home in the 2020 elections, don't make the same mistake in 2022! I am the first Mexican Born American Citizen to be elected into Congress 🇺🇸 #TX34
