You gain a lot of insight from employees by listening to them.

Sadly, voter suppression is not a thing of the past.

People really like the fact that I've worked at their job. It gives them a good feeling that I've experienced, even for a few hours, what they do on the job.

I've always done party building and party fundraising.

There's no question about the fact that for Democrats, Texas is a tough place.

When you go out and meet new people, you can come up with new ideas and be enlightened and help the country become a better place.

Voting rights matter. They are a major part of who we are as Americans.

The Supreme Court 2013 ruling that gutted the 1965 Voting Rights Act set in motion what many feared: the subjection of minorities, seniors, and low-income Americans to unfair, punitive barriers preventing them from exercising their most basic right as American citizens.

I would say to Republicans that when you look at civil rights legislation that took place in the 1960s, it took a bipartisan effort to get those things done, and so what I would tell my colleagues, both Republicans and Democrats, is let's come together, and let's be for fairness.

I would love to see public option. If we had public option, then people would have that ability to supplement that public option with an additional health plan.

Please continue to voice your beliefs, as your participation is the foundation of our country's democracy.

As a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the Congressional Joint Strike Fighter Caucus, I have been a staunch supporter of the production of the F-35 since day one and understand the importance of its production for my fellow Texans and our nation's security.
