Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with Lisa Monaco,@VanitaGuptaCR, and Kristen Clarke. These women will not only excel at serving our country, but will help restore America's faith in the DOJ.

I look forward to working with them as a member of the Judiciary Committee.

Thank you Richard Blumenthal

Thank you Senator Dick Durbin

“We need to restore and expand the Voting Rights Act, named after our dear friend John Lewis, and continue to fight back against laws that many states are engaged in to suppress the right to vote while expanding access to the ballot box for all eligible voters.” –President Biden Joe Biden

Pres Biden is signing 4 EOs:
—Mitigate racial bias in housing & advance fair housing laws
—End use of private prisons
—Establish federal respect for tribal sovereignty & strengthen relationships with native tribes

President Biden will sign 4 executive actions today on housing and justice reforms aimed at advancing racial equity.

Among them: directing DOJ to end its use of private prisons and directing HUD to take steps to redress discriminatory housing policies.
