From a constituent in Glendale, CAAbolish the Electoral College
I understand that Senators Schatz, Durbin, and Welch have introduced a joint resolution to amend the U.S. Constitution to abolish the Electoral College and mandate that the president be elected by the popular vote. I want the Senator to support it. The Electoral College is outdated and undemocratic.

From a verified voter in Santa Rosa, CAShutdown
As a constituent, I’m emailing to say that I’m counting on you to continue backing the original bipartisan government funding deal and not bail out Republicans who are pandering to Elon Musk.

From a constituent in Oakland, CAReject H.R. 9495
H.R. 9495, the Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, would give the Treasury Secretary unchecked power to revoke a nonprofit’s tax-exempt status, by merely claiming — with no evidence or due process — that the organization is linked to terrorism. With Trump returning to office in a matter of wee

From a constituent in San Francisco, CAWhat will Dems do with an un-elected billionaire who is positioned by Republicans to guide federal decision making? Truly? Which Republicans have the guts to stand up to Musk? To guide policy by what's best for their constituents?

From a constituent in Oakland, CASupport the Neighbors Not Enemies Act
The AEA is an outdated and xenophobic war authority that Trump wants to use in peacetime to detain and deport people without regard for human rights or basic due process.
