House Republicans are obsessed.

Not with lowering healthcare costs.
Not with growing the middle class.
Not with making life easier for working families.

No, they’re obsessed with attacking the LGBTQI+ community. 👇 When Republicans took control of the House last year they forced more than 50 anti-LGBTQI+ votes on the House floor.

You expect bullies in school, yet there are bullies walking around the halls of Congress.

The topic of Medicare Advantage is deeply personal to me. In her late 80s, my mom lived in an assisted living facility. Years earlier, a friendly salesperson told her about all the money she could save on prescription drugs by switching to Medicare Advantage. She was enamored. 👇 One day, my mom needed to see a specialist. If she was on traditional Medicare, a doctor who came to her facility could have treated her. But unlike traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage requires you to stay within a network and often does not pay for house calls from doctors.

I often get asked why I have this pair of rubber gloves framed on the wall of my office. This #lgbtqia History Month, I want to share that story. 👇 While serving alongside now-Senator Tammy Baldwin on the Dane County Board of Supervisors in 1995, we were invited to the Clinton White House for a celebration of openly gay elected officials.
