Statement

The Student Loan Crisis

The rising cost of college and the need to take on mountains of student debt is holding a generation of young people back. I am fighting for affordable education and for relief for millions of Americans struggling with student debt.

Bringing Congress to You

Over the weekend, my office held a special "pop-up" Congress on Your Corner at the Wilmington Food 4 Less. It was a great chance to meet people in our community, answer questions, and get the word out about the services my office can provide. If you ever have a question or need help with a federal agency, give us at call at my office at (310) 831-1799.

Are Small Businesses Being Cheated out of Billions?

Contracting is one of the most important ways the federal government can empower small businesses.

But every year, small business contracts are routinely given to some of our country's largest companies -- like Disney, Apple and Chevron. Small businesses are losing out on billions of dollars in valuable contracts to corporate giants!

I am calling for an investigation into this ongoing problem.
