Zoe is a longtime leader on anti-corruption, campaign finance, and pro-democracy reforms. In January 2019, Zoe was chosen by then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to Chair the House Administration Committee – a position often referred to as the “Mayor of Capitol Hill” – and unanimously confirmed by her colleagues to the position. The House Administration Committee oversees federal elections, campaign finance, and legislative branch agencies that support Members of Congress, including the Architect of the Capitol, Capitol Police, and the Library of Congress. She served in this role until January 2021. During that time, Zoe shepherded H.R. 1, the “For the People Act”, through the legislative process in the 116th and 117th Congresses, culminating with its House passage twice. The sweeping package would have put power back in the hands of the American people by limiting the dominance of big money in politics, making it easier – not harder – to vote, and ensuring that politicians actually serve the public interest.

In many recent mass shootings, community members noted warning signs beforehand but there was nothing they could do to remove the shooter's access to guns before the tragedy.

As the only advanced nation in the world that suffers from a seemingly unending string of mass shootings, it is clear Congress should take reasonable steps to address this public health crisis and ensure our communities are safe. Zoe supported the creation of a Select Committee on Gun Violence Prevention in the House to examine our existing firearms purchaser background check system as well as other methods to prevent and reduce gun violence. However, the Republican leadership has so far refused to act, and has repeatedly blocked the House from debating these measures despite Democrats' continued calls.

The Affordable Care Act provides health care insurance for more than 20 million individuals across America, and Zoe opposes any heedless dismantling of good health policies that would jeopardize the well-being of families and individuals currently covered by this plan. Zoe opposed the Republican Affordble Care Act replacement plan which would increase the cost of health care premiums for middle-class Americans while providing tax breaks for the top 1% of taxpayers. Their legislation would also speed up the Medicare Trust Fund's insolvency by 4 years, enable insurance companies to penalize individuals for lapses in coverage, and elminate funding for Planned Parenthood to provide affordable health care services for women. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 24 million Americans would be uninsured by 2026 under the Republicans' failed proposal.

Zoe know that the United States' southern border and custody issues would be made better if the country addresses the root causes of the refugee crisis in Central America. That is why she introduced the Northern Triangle and Border Stabilization Act, a comprehensive, five-pronged strategy to combat the underlying violence and instability that compels thousands of refugees to flee Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. It would create a regional plan in Central America to enable families and children to seek refuge in the United States and other nations, without having to make the dangerous journey to our southern border.

That is why she introduced the Northern Triangle and Border Stabilization Act, a comprehensive, five-pronged strategy to combat the underlying violence and instability that compels thousands of refugees to flee Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. It would create a regional plan in Central America to enable families and children to seek refuge in the United States and other nations, without having to make the dangerous journey to our southern border.

Americans consistently cite government tracking as a top concern, and service providers have repeatedly noted that some prospective clients are reluctant to store their data in the U.S. due to the perception of weak rules for government access. We must establish clear rules for government collection of data that protect individual privacy and avoid burdening businesses in a way without harming legitimate law enforcement and national security priorities.

Ill-conceived laws that undermine technological progress not only fail us today, they can also become obstacles to the innovations of tomorrow.

With only 3% of the known global oil reserves, the United States cannot become energy independent or affect the price of oil simply through oil drilling alone. New policies are needed because our oil dependency drains money from our economy that could be better used to grow American prosperity. Our oil dependency also undermines our national security and worsens the threat of climate change.That's why Zoe has supported efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase efficiency standards for cars, trucks, and buildings. By increasing efficiency, we can reduce overall consumption and slow emissions that lead to climate change.

Zoe knows that if done right, we can achieve U.S. energy independence, lower energy prices, protect the environment and grow industries that create new jobs here at home. She has been a strong supporter of investing in new and innovative approaches, including clean solar, wind, wave, and fuel cell energy sources.California has been a leader in pioneering green energy production, and these industry jobs are among the fastest growing sector in our economy. That's why Zoe introduced the Clean Energy Victory Bonds Act to authorize the government to issue $50 billion in Clean Energy Victory Bonds that support solar, wind, geothermal, second generation biofuels, electric vehicles, and energy efficiency.

In response to massive public outcry, on August 18th, Postmaster General DeJoy announced that he is suspending his operational changes at least through the election. While this is a welcome step, Zoe knows it is not nearly enough. Postmaster General DeJoy has not committed to reversing the harmful steps, such as the removal of mail sorting machines, that have already been implemented. Furthermore, the millions of Americans who receive prescriptions, packages, and other essential goods and documents via the mail will not suddenly stop needing timely mail delivery after the election is over. In order to fully reverse the changes at the USPS and prevent further degradation of service in the future, Zoe is a cosponsor of H.R. 8015, the Delivering for America Act. Zoe also voted to provide the USPS with $25 billion in the HEROES Act and a further $25 billion to modernize postal operations and infrastructure in the Moving Forward Act.

"I do not know why Acting Director Brian Stone and OSTP Director Michael Kratsios believe they possess the authority to impose such radical changes at America's premier scientific agency without congressional input or authorization. The Trump Administration has profoundly damaged NSF with its repeated attacks against the agency and the scientific community it was created to support. NSF needs to stop, take 10 steps back, and remember the values that made it the envy of the world for 75 years. I do not intend to abandon those values, and I will fight for them as we conduct oversight of these changes in the months to come."

President Trump has signed several Executive Orders with the clear goal of undermining the independence and the authority of the NRC, attempting to establish an alternative reactor licensing process at the Department of Energy with far less transparency or opportunity for public engagement than the NRC’s well-established practices. Here I will note that the complaints of a small number of startup companies with ties to the Administration do not justify gutting an agency that has been a gold standard for the world in ensuring nuclear safety.

Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
