I am devastated by the passing of my dear friend Charles Bayor, one of my strongest champions and one of the kindest, most committed advocates I have ever known. A true cornerstone of the Penn South community, Charles believed deeply in civic life and lived those values every day

Grateful to meet with @RepRobertGarcia, Ranking Member of House Oversight, who’s been at the forefront of demanding accountability and transparency in the Epstein probe. In Congress, I’ll join him in the Equality Caucus and stand up for oversight, equality, and honest government.
