As your congresswoman, i am going to focus on jobs and getting us back to school quickly and safely, focusing on and fully funding and supporting our police. Hear my you will opponent talk about how bipartisan he is. In reality, he votes with nancy pelosi 100 of the time. He is an ineffective partyline politician who has passed zero bills in office. Tonight, you will hear him attempt to take credit for everyone elses work, including a myriad of health care policies. My opponent just two weeks ago, he voted to defund the police by 600 million.
