Today, with enormous pride and endless gratitude for those who marched here before me, I will be standing at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama to announce the introduction of #HR4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, in the 117th Congress.
I know I don't stand here alone. I stand on the shoulders of the countless brave men and women who fought, bled, and died here before me so that every American, regardless of their background, could enjoy the most sacred and fundamental right our nation offers—the right to vote.
