I am writing because I am deeply frustrated by your failure to stand up for federal employees and the constituents you were elected to represent. Federal workers have endured relentless attacks on their jobs, collective bargaining rights, workplace protections, and basic dignity. These are public servants who keep Social Security offices functioning, care for veterans, protect our communities, administer essential programs, and serve the American people every day. They deserve elected officials who will defend them, not politicians who remain silent while their rights and livelihoods are dismantled. I also cannot understand your continued support for an administration and a president whose conduct I believe is increasingly authoritarian and dangerous. At what point do loyalty to the Constitution, democratic institutions, and the people you represent come before loyalty to Donald Trump? There is an opportunity right now to demonstrate that you actually will stand up for federal workers: the Protect America’s Workforce Act. The House has already acted. Now this legislation needs action in the Senate. I am asking you to use your position, your voice, and your influence to publicly demand that the Senate bring this legislation to the floor and pass it. Federal employees are your constituents. Their families are your constituents. They pay taxes, contribute to their communities, and deserve the same representation and protection as everyone else. Please stop standing on the sidelines while federal workers are targeted. Speak publicly in support of the Protect America’s Workforce Act. Urge your colleagues in the Senate to bring it to the floor and vote YES. Your constituents are watching. This is an opportunity to show us whether you are willing to stand up for working Americans, constitutional rights, and the people you were elected to serve. I expect to know where you stand.
