Original Cosponsor the No Vote, No Raise Act

The Ethics Reform Act of 1989 established the current formula for the automatic annual pay adjustment for Members of Congress, which automatically goes into effect unless denied statutorily by Congress. Many of our constituents do not receive an automatic
pay increase, and neither should Members of Congress. That is why I am re-introducing the No Vote, No Raise Act that repeals the provision of law that provides for this automatic increase. If any increases need to take place, I believe Congress should have
a transparent and public vote to do so.

CLOSING TODAY: Cosponsor the “Access to Congressionally Mandated Reports Act”

Each year federal agencies submit thousands of reports to Congress containing a wealth of information that enables the public to better understand how well federal agencies are (or are not) fulfilling their respective missions, from ensuring the safety of
our drugs and food supply, to protecting the environment, and monitoring the soundness of our financial institutions. Unfortunately, many of these reports simply sit collecting dust in the Committees to which they are delivered, or are posted in numerous places
on dozens of agency websites rarely to be seen.

Co-Sponsor the Fighting for Intelligent, Rational, and Ethical Dismissal (FIRED) Act

The Federal Investigation Bureau (FBI) is our premier federal law enforcement agency. Congress intended the FBI to be insulated from partisan politics and remain independent in its dealings. Unfortunately, the FBI has become the political punching-bag of
the Trump Administration.

No Member Pay During Shutdowns
