Cosponsor the Federal Government Advertising Equity Accountability Act
Please join me in encouraging fair access to federal advertising contracts by cosponsoring the Federal Government Advertising Equity Accountability Act (H.R. 7215). This legislation would require all federal agencies to include in their annual budget requests
to Congress the amount they spend on advertising contracts with small disadvantaged businesses (SDBs) and businesses owned by minorities and women. Federal agencies would be required to provide prior, current and projected total expenditures for advertising
contracts.
Become a Co-Sponsor Closing the Gun Show Loophole
I invite you to become a co-sponsor of a bill that closes the gun show loophole. The United States experiences epidemic levels of gun violence, claiming over 30,000 lives annually, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition
to those who are killed or injured, there are countless others whose lives are forever changed by the deaths of and injuries to their loved ones. Gun violence touches every segment of our society. It increases the probability of deaths in incidents of domestic
violence, raises the likelihood of fatalities by those who intend to injure others and among those who attempt suicide, and places innocent children and young people at risk.

H.R. 2 is a Missed Opportunity – Oppose the Farm Bill Conference Report
The Senate and House Agriculture Committees have unveiled a Farm Bill conference that is woefully out of step with the needs of family farmers and our food system. I’ve introduced the Food and Farm Act (H.R. 4425), an alternative Farm Bill that advances
reforms to focus resources on those who need them most, foster innovation, encourage investments in people and the planet, and ensure access to healthy foods.

The Hill Op-Ed: Time is money: Let’s open Social Security field offices, not close them
I write to share with you the
Op-Ed below that recently appeared in the Hill expressing support for passing legislation to protect the American public’s access to Social Security Administration (SSA) field offices. The article raises a number of points about the importance
of these field offices to our constituents. I urge you to cosponsor my bill, H.R. 7146–the Maintain Vital Access to Social Security Services Act of 2018, that would require the SSA to take certain steps, including seeking and considering public input, prior
to closing a field office. For questions or to be added as a cosponsor, please contact Chris Goldson in my office at chris.goldson@mail.house.gov
