11/08/2022 Tweet - "Today should be a federal holiday. We should have universal same-day registration, better campaign finance disclosures, and stronger election security practices.

09/01/2022 Tweet - "Jan. 6 was a tragic day -- and it could easily happen again if we don't act to clarify our election laws. I worked on a bipartisan compromise to create clear guidelines and reform our antiquated laws. I'm ready to get it done ASAP."
07/26/2022 Tweet - "It wasn't easy -- but after months of bipartisan compromise, we have a framework to reform a 135-year-old law that was the foundation for Trump's plan to hold on to the presidency. I'm proud to have brokered it and I'm ready to get it done."
