Public transit riders (myself included) are always looking to stay safe on our commutes.

This is why I'm leading a new bipartisan bill to ensure transit agencies can hire police officers.

I hopped on LAist to talk about my newest bipartisan bill that will make our public transit more safe – without fare increases or reductions in service.

Take a listen to a snippet of it here:

Months ago I grilled this FEMA Administrator on why 80% of Texans in crisis got silence instead of help. He had no answers.

The next FEMA head must have relevant expertise and treat the job seriously. Their performance is a matter of life or death.

Here’s the bottom line: healthcare costs are going to skyrocket for hardworking Americans across the board. Many will not be able to afford it.

I’ll keep fighting to make sure that you won’t have to pay double or even triple for basic healthcare. (1/2)

I said it on Fox News today and I’ll say it again: I won’t rubber stamp a Republican agenda that rips healthcare from millions of Americans. If the bill coming from the Senate takes away your ability to see a doctor and afford your medications, I’m a no.
