I joined @RepAngieCraig and @RepChrisPappas to proudly introduce the #EqualityAct so that every American, no matter who they are or who they love, can receive equal protection under the law.
Our country lost a wonderful man today. Former Senator and Governor Birch Bayh is one of my heroes as the "father of Title IX" who fought tirelessly to make sure women have access to higher educational opportunities, including sports. What a legacy. He will be missed.
Thanks to both Congresswoman Debra Haaland and ND State Rep. Ruth Ann Buffalo, as well as many other Native women for advocating for Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women whose voice is needed across the USA. Action needed.

By 2020, experts estimate that over 80 million people around the world will be living with some form of glaucoma. Your support will help build a world where, one day, that number can be zero. @IAPB1#WGW2019

"Congress and the president must reach a deal on spending under the Budget Control Act or there will be budget cuts of more than 11 percent on the existing budget", says Mark Trahant. "The economic version of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. A three-way gunfight, or a truel."

“I strongly support HB 1317 because in community health centers & rural areas, we have a tremendous challenge recruiting dentists…. For us, [statewide dental therapy] would alleviate a great need.”

The House just passed a bill to require background checks on all gun sales in the country. It's the first gun control legislation to pass since 1994. Thank @gabbygiffords, @lucymcbath, @speakerpelosi and so many others for their work on this issue by calling your senators!
Thanks Children's Dental Health Project and MomsRising for sponsoring today's #WellnessWed chat on Oral Health and Equity. Great conversation that should be discussed every month.

A8: One threat is that our current system doesn't focus on preventive care. Kids can't concentrate in the classroom w/ untreated tooth decay! #OralHealth education = big priority! https://t.co/TcXqIaLZoO #NCDHM#SBHCmonth19#WellnessWed
