This was my gift to my new member class.

"To sin by silence, when we should protest, makes cowards out of men." - from Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem Protest.

I am making sure we know our power in Congress to hold corrupt elected officials accountable.

You, the people, can make the difference in this election. When we vote, we win — come out and vote this Tuesday, November 6th.
