To protect our democracy, we need to enact #HR1 and HR 4, the John Lewis VRA. HR 1 will set a national standard of affirmatively expanding voting rights and HR 4 will help us protect against attacks on Americans' right to vote—like those we are seeing across the country.
Before his election, Congressman @ColinAllredTX worked to protect the most vulnerable as a Civil Rights attorney on housing & voting rights.
On his very 1st day in Congress, he put points on the board to #ProtectOurCare and save the Affordable Care Act. #TX32#BlackHistoryMonth

@Reuters
Thank you @ColinAllredTX — it is imperative President Trump is removed ASAP, even as early as today to avoid more violence and pardoning himself. Please act NOW!
Finally, to my constituents who have asked what I intend to do, I will support any constitutional action that removes President Trump from office—including impeachment. I have been in intense discussions with my colleagues about the next best step forward and we will act soon.
“On January 6th, when the 117th Congress convenes for the Joint Session, I will support an objection to the certification of the Electoral College. This nation was founded upon free and fair elections. Our nation’s integrity, security, and international presence rely on it.

We went to sleep mourning El Paso and wake to news of another mass shooting in Dayton.
We passed common sense gun safety legislation in the House to make our communities safer. I again call on the Senate to make it law — urgently.
In the midterms, Democrats flipped six state legislative chambers and more than 300 state House and Senate seats. In 2020, we need to go bigger: See why we’re uniting with @Flippable_org to make it happen. https://t.co/mNRHFGQd82

You may have read reports of non-citizens voting in Texas from Republicans who perpetuate voter suppression. It’s a great time to have voting rights attorney @RepColinAllred as our rep. Here are the facts:
1/ You might be seeing headlines or tweets tonight that claim Texas says 58,000 non-citizens have voted in Texas.

Elections matter. Winning in 2018 was essential for checks and balances and our democracy. Glad we finally have a representative who is for us! @ColinAllredTX
Our focus should be on helping families take home more of their paychecks, get better jobs & lower health care costs. Instead, this shutdown is an attempt to use the paychecks of hardworking folks to win a policy disagreement. Read my op-ed in @dallasnews: https://t.co/JqcaoNJEgm
It's just amazing how whiny Pete Sessions, who led the NRCC for four years, sounds now that someone had the gall to run a negative ad against *him.* And he's not ruling out a 2020 comeback #TX32 https://t.co/QqjfoDtiQa
The Grassroots in #TX32 were fired up, focused, and organized. @ColinAllredTX was one of the best candidates of 2018 and we are proud to have helped elect him!
