Support Reauthorization of the Generalized System of Preferences Program
Please join me in signing onto a letter to Chairman Kevin Brady and Ranking Member Richard Neal of the Ways and Means Committee. On December 31, 2017, the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) Program is set to expire and must be reauthorized. GSP eliminates
US import tariffs on non-sensitive products imported from more than 120 developing countries . These tariffs would ultimately be paid by American manufacturers, farmers, and consumers if GSP expires.
Let’s Spur the Economy and Raise the Wages of Working Families
Please join me in cosponsoring H.R. 3757, the Grow American Incomes Now (GAIN) Act, a bicameral transformational expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) to compensate for the loss of wages of the bottom twenty percent of wage earners since 1979.
At a time when the Trump Administration and Republicans have proposed devastating budget cuts to programs that help working families and dramatically cutting taxes for the very wealthy and big corporations, this legislation will help grow both our middle class
and economy.

Co-Sponsor Representative Posey’s Bill to Eliminate Death Gratuities
As you know, the U.S. government pays a full year’s salary to the family of a member of Congress who dies serving while in office, a death gratuity created decades ago that was intended to serve as a form of life insurance.
Protect Small Businesses, Cosponsor H.R. 3956 – the STARS Act
With all small employers do to keep their businesses running, the last thing they need is confusion stemming from regulations and the tax code. The complex rules implementing the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) shared responsibility provision, also known as
the employer mandate, exemplify the difficulty imposed on small businesses. Largely designed with traditional jobs in mind, the ACA’s employer provisions fail to account for the exceptional circumstances of employers with highly seasonal workforces. Though
the Treasury Department attempted to remedy these issues through regulation, the resulting rules are confusing and create unnecessary obstacles to compliance for small, seasonal employers.

Co-sponsor Representative Posey’s End the Congressional Revolving Door Act
As you know, many of today’s lobbyists got their start as elected Members or staff on Capitol Hill. I believe that a part of restoring trust in our institutions and making sure that those working on legislation have no other loyalties begins by closing
this revolving door.
