Still no Coronavirus testing plan from Democrats for U.S. House
Despite nine members of Congress testing positive for the coronavirus this year, House Democrats have yet to accept an offer from the Trump Administration to test members of Congress and staff, so that Congress can fully resume its work during this important time.

I remain opposed to proxy voting, and believe our job as representatives is to represent our communities – not to transfer that responsibility to someone from another district or faraway state.
