Generations of Americans—many in my hometown of Selma, Alabama—marched, fought, and even died for the right of all Americans to vote. Today, in continuation of their legacy, I will be reintroducing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act in the House of Representatives.

The American people deserve a functioning government that will work to address their needs. My vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s motion to vacate is not about one person or party. It is about preserving our democracy and the integrity of the House of Representatives.

FACT: It is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. This latest stunt by MAGA extremists is yet another attempt to fan the flames of election denial and sow doubt in the minds of voters about the integrity of our elections.

We will not stand by as extremists work to restrict voting access and undermine our democracy. It has been 223 days since we introduced the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act in the House. @SpeakerJohnson , it is time to bring this bill to the floor for a vote!

I wouldn't be where I am today without the influence of so many amazing teachers and professors. The educators that had the greatest impact on me, though, were my mom and dad, teachers in the Selma City Schools. 💕 Take a moment to #ThankATeacher today! #TeacherAppreciationDay

I’m thrilled that the City of Selma has been awarded a $1 million grant from @USDA for affordable housing! Though damage from the storms were devastating, it provided an opportunity for us to rebuild better & that means ensure access to affordable housing!
