  • "It's been six months since the #GOPTaxScam was signed into law and the results are in: 83% of the tax cuts are still going to the richest 1%. Just 4% of workers have gotten a pay hike. The cost of the tax cuts has mushroomed to $1.9 trillion. Now, Congressman Glenn Grothman & his GOP colleagues have released their 2019 budget, which includes over $541 billion in cuts to Medicare and Social Security. We must protect these benefits our seniors have paid into and earned, not put them on the chopping block." (www.facebook.com)

  • "This tax bill gets worse and worse. What began as tax bill that would cut taxes for big corporations and the very wealthiest Americans has been made even worse through backdoor deals that will personally enrich Members of Congress. " (www.facebook.com)
  • "While I support parents and communities having choices, our taxpayer dollars should not subsidize private or religious schools at the expense of public schools. Now more than ever we must fully fund public education across all of our communities and put our next generation on the path to success. That starts by expanding access to early childhood education, which is a proven factor of success in later school years and beyond. We must also equip all our K-12 public classrooms with high-speed broadband internet so our students have access to the technology and information they need to be prepared for success in the 21st century global economy."

  • "My position on legalization of marijuana is pretty simple: legalize medicinal use and leave recreational decisions to the states. This move disregards the voices of voters and would divert law enforcement resources from higher priority pursuits. " (twitter.com)

  • "By all means let's debate US military involvement in Syria (& for that matter the deployment of 15,000 troops in Afghanistan, with no end in sight). But let’s also be clear-eyed about the national security consequences of leaving hastily & gift wrapping even more influence to our adversaries Russia & Iran." (www.facebook.com)
