We believe that every child has a right to learn without fear, that every parent has a right to hug their beautiful little babies when they come home from school, and that all of us, we have a right to dance at a concert, laugh at the theater, pray at a synagogue, at a church, and at a mosque.
If you say you're going to do something, you better damn well do it.
My back's not big enough for the number of targets on it.
I think having a national system that tracks who owns guns is fine. I don't think we need to be printing it on the Internet.

Don't confuse evidence with a conclusion.
Our military shouldn't be outgunned.
We should trust judges to be independent, investigators to be independent.
Rule of law is based on probable cause.

For me, there's nothing more important than serving my constituents and winning the House.
California is among several states that already have fought their way out from under partisan gerrymandering by taking line-drawing authority away from the Legislature.
Americans feel frustrated, distanced, and disenfranchised from our elected government. We deserve more: a government in which we truly all have a voice.
Americans have bravely risen to overcome great challenges, but we still have a long way to go to ensure that everyone shares in the freedom to dream of and achieve a better life for themselves and their kids.
Americans are at our best when we build bridges between us, not walls around us.
For years, America has helped protect against terrorist attacks by telling Americans, 'If you see something, say something.' The same should go for protecting our elections against foreign interference.
