In 2019, I joined my @HouseDemocrats colleagues on a single mission: To fight #ForThePeople. We passed 400+ bills, including 275+ bipartisan bills that @senatemajldr refuses to act on, and we fought to hold this Administration accountable for its corruption. A few highlights:
We took on the corrupt role of money in our politics & passed the #ForThePeople Act. This bill included my Democracy Dollars Act to pilot nationally the Seattle program that allows people to use vouchers to make small-dollar political contributions. jayapal.house.gov/2019/03/08/h-r…
I, along w/@RepAdamSmith, introduced the #DignityForDetainedImmigrants Act—w/138 cosponsors—to end mandatory detention, protect asylum-seekers & other vulnerable populations, eliminate the for-profit prison system, & ensure immigrants are treated with dignity.
I, along with @SenSanders, introduced the College for All Act to make public colleges & universities tuition-free for working families & to significantly reduce student debt.

I introduced, along w/my friend @SenKamalaHarris, the National #DomesticWorkersBillofRights—landmark legislation that would bring critical protections & respect to 2.5 million domestic workers across the country.
I introduced the Students Not Profits Act to protect students striving for a better future from predatory for-profit institutions looking to exploit their dreams. cnbc.com/2019/10/23/bil…
