I have known Kamala for close to 20 years. She is an incredible talent, great communicator, has a sharp legal mind and the coolness to disarm enemies and - at the same time - protect those entrusted to her care. She is a consummate leader with a warmth that draws people in and a laugh that assures you that she is real and human. She exudes the confidence that we need in leaders today and the kindness to shelter those in need. She will bring great excitement and enthusiasm to the ticket. I’m thrilled VP Biden selected her among a list of truly remarkable women. https://www.nytimes.com//polit/kamala-harris-vp-biden.html

The Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced in 1923. It was sent to the states for ratification 1972. Generations of women fought to get us this far. Let's make 2019 the year it's finally, finally added to our constitution to guarantee our equal treatment under the law. https://cnn.it/2UsK4HJ

Democrats took a big stand on Friday when we passed HR1 through the House. We're putting a stop to corruption, getting big money out of politics, and requiring presidents to disclose tax returns (yes, even Donald Trump). No wonder Republicans in Congress are working to stop us. https://bit.ly/2EZMoRd
