Restore Tax Equity for Artists, Writers, and Composers
I invite you to cosponsor H.R. 1793, the Artist-Museum Partnership Act of 2019. This legislation would correct an imbalance in the tax code and allow artists – including writers and composers — to take a tax deduction for the fair market value of the
works that they donate to public institutions (e.g. schools, museums, and libraries).
Universal Child Care and Early Learning Act

Help Protect Communities From Violence
Every person in America should feel safe and secure when they leave their home. They should be able to attend concerts, school, nightclubs, movies, and places of worship without the fear of violence. They should be able to go about their daily lives without
wondering whether or not they will be the next target of a mass casualty event. Unfortunately, this reality exists in our country. Over the last several years, communities across the country have endured too many unspeakable acts of violence in places once
thought to be safe.
Horseracing Integrity Act – Join 125+ Cosponsors
As the Co-Chairmen of the Congressional Horse Caucus, we invite you to cosponsor H.R. 1754, the Horseracing Integrity Act. The legislation authorizes the creation of an independent oversight body, known as the Horseracing Anti-Doping Authority (HADA) responsible
for creating and enforcing a national anti-doping program for the entire horseracing industry, including Thoroughbred, Standardbred and Quarter Horse racing, to ensure fair and safe competition across the thirty-eight state-based racing jurisdictions. It will
also safeguard the welfare of the equine athlete by prohibiting the use of medication within 24 hours of a race. We believe our legislation and the establishment of HADA will restore integrity and public confidence in this centuries-old shared national pastime.
