56 years ago, heroes like John Lewis shed blood on the Edmund Pettus Bridge for the right of all Americans to vote. Today, as that right comes under attack once again, we honor their legacy by passing #HR4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. #RestoreTheVote

The right to vote is under attack. Our democracy is in unprecedented peril.

History will remember us by how we meet this moment.

Are we willing to stand up for democracy?

I am.

Let’s pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Before it's too late.

I find it ironic that we just voted on a a bill tonight called “Budget Transparency,” and the next vote we will take later tonight will be on a procedural rule that will “deem” the budget as passed, so no one has to go on record voting for or against the budget. 🤦‍♂️

Told the Post I'd be voting for @TerryMcAuliffe for governor. His opponent, @GlennYoungkin, embraces the model of @GovRonDeSantis and FL on COVID, and Sam Brownback and KS on fiscal policy. Ugh. Proven moderate competence > reckless right-wing pandering. https://t.co/ZmOhC0M575

Thinking of my dear friend John Lewis today. He knew the future of our democracy was not guaranteed and dedicated his life to preserving it.

Today we have the opportunity to honor his legacy and send the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to the Senate. I'm ready.
