Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and legacy. He has so many memorable quotes but this one perhaps has always inspired me most: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, "What are you doing for others?"

It's officially harder for repeat violent offenders to make their way back onto the streets. I helped pass this bill in the State Senate and, though there is still more work to be done on bond reform, it is an important step in the right direction. https://t.co/8nLwieo0P0
