I'm very concerned about the needs of our veterans.

The Women's March in Washington was about giving power to the collective voices of women everywhere to demand that our leaders put the interests, safety, and welfare of all Americans first.

I believe that by taking action together, we can create a safer future for our loved ones.

As a child, my father taught me to never take my freedoms for granted. He challenged me to fight for what is right.

Expanding Stand Your Ground sends a clear message to communities of color: We are not welcome or safe in Florida.

Mental illness, hate and anger exist everywhere, but in America too often it comes armed.

While law enforcement officers are working hard in Illinois to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, they face a nearly impossible task because of weak gun laws in surrounding states.

It's the reckless ideas put forward by the NRA's leadership, and pushed through by fearful legislators, that have allowed systemic gun violence to expand, wreaking havoc on communities of color for decades.

Activism is in my DNA.

I will still do my part to create a country that would have been safe for my son.

Nothing can bring my Jordan back but I have learned to channel my grief into action to honor my son.

Stand-your-ground laws are a favorite of the NRA gun lobby and their push to weaken our nation's gun laws.

It is my solemn duty to be an ally to the trans community.

There is not a day that goes by when I do not think of my son, and the man he would have grown up to be.

I came to Washington to stand up for the people who put their trust in me and to ensure the safety of the families and communities in Georgia's Sixth, and across our nation, by keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous people.

A lot of people really enjoy guns. A lot of people really like having guns.

We must continue our work to improve and strengthen health care for Georgians, and we must defend the vital protections and programs that protect the health and wellbeing of families across our nation.

I have deep abiding faith in God.

There are no issues more personal than prescription drugs and the high prices Americans must pay to get the medicine they need.
