"...a lot of what happens in Congress today does not feel very constructive. But when members commit to working on problems together, it is possible to find a path forward."

Take a look at what @RepDerekKilmer & @RepTimmons are saying in @RealClearNews👇https://t.co/Dc3z1NpqBn

As chair of @ModernizeCmte, I'm working to make Congress more efficient, effective, & transparent. So far, our bipartisan committee has passed 140+ recommendations to get us moving in the right direction - but there's more work to do! My chat w @tteminWFED
