I am writing to express my opinion on several issues. A response from the Senator is not required.
Lift the filibuster to allow Senate consideration of U.S. Supreme Court reforms, including the Judiciary Act of 2021 (S. 1141) and the Judiciary Accountability Act of 2021 (S. 2553) to expand the number of seats on the Court, set term limits, and create an enforceable ethics code for all SCOTUS justices.
Confirm the 20 federal judges nominated by the President who are only awaiting a full Senate confirmation vote, which will ensure the continued functioning of the federal courts and avoid political delays as the midterm elections approach.
Pass S. 51, the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, so that DC citizens enjoy equitable representation in Congress.
Pass S. 4500, the Youth Voting Rights Act, to remove barriers faced by young voters, especially students.
Pass S. 2118, the Clean Energy for America Act, to protect our health and climate.
Reject S. 2764, the New Parents Act of 2021 as written, which would force parents to relinquish their future Social Security benefits in exchange for paid parental leave.
Pass S. 2210, the Better Care Better Jobs Act, through budget reconciliation to lower healthcare costs and institute compensation for over one million family caregivers.
