Heritage Month! As Vice Chair of
@CAPAC
, I'm proud to uplift our community this month & every month.
I look forward to celebrating with you all in Queens & throughout the U.S.
The constitution requires a count of the "whole number of persons in each state".
A "citizens only" census would exclude thousands of people & divert federal resources from areas that need them most.
This policy is reckless, cynical, & frankly illegal.

Abortion is health care, and health care decisions should be made between patients & providers, NOT judges & politicians.
My
@ProChoiceCaucus
colleagues & I won't stop fighting to protect abortion access.
Doctors in Idaho say the state's abortion ban means patients are forced to endure long and potentially risky transfers to other states.
The Supreme Court will rule on whether the ban is at odds with federal law.
The gun violence epidemic impacts communities across the U.S. everyday & Queens is not immune.

with the $800K in federal funding I secured to help its team to expand violence prevention programs to more kids & families in Queens.
From the basketball court to the boardroom, women are still earning less than their male counterparts for the same jobs.
That's why I support legislation like
@RosaDeLauro
’s Paycheck Fairness Act. Let’s require equal pay for equal work.
Women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all.
But right now we're seeing that even if you're the best, women are not paid their fair share.
It’s time that we give our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure women are paid what they deserve.
A college education should lead to a future full of opportunity, not a lifetime of debt.
This plan from POTUS will deliver long-overdue relief to millions of middle- and working-class Americans, benefitting not only borrowers, but the entire economy.
Deeply saddened by the loss of my colleague, Rep. Donald Payne, Jr.
It's been an honor to serve alongside a genuine & dedicated public servant. He always took time to share a smile & a kind word even on the busiest days. My thoughts are with his loved ones, staff & constituents.
