I’m leading the fight for the Medicare for All Act to ensure that universal healthcare is a right, not a privilege. I also lead landmark legislation to make higher education tuition-free, guarantee housing as a human right, expand workers’ rights, raise the federal minimum wage, implement humane immigration reform, and establish an ultra-millionaire wealth tax. I lead bipartisan bills that ban stock trading for Members of Congress and protect Americans from government spying. I’m doing everything possible to get money out of politics and reform the Supreme Court.

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.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
