In 2022, 5,486 workers were killed on the job in the U.S.
Every single worker has the right to a safe workplace β whether that means guaranteed rest breaks, thorough safety training, or paid sick days.
This #WorkersMemorialDay , let's protect people over corporate profits.
Congrats to Travis County Judge Andy Brown for a great State of the County!
As your Congressman, Iβm fighting for the heart of Texas every single day β and that means working hand in hand with Travis County leaders to deliver for you and your family.
This is BIG! The Biden Administration just announced new protections for consumers & workers:
β Banning noncompete agreements
π° Expanding who qualifies for overtime
βοΈ Ensuring automatic refunds for flight delays
All made possible by Progressive Caucusβ organizing & advocacy!
NEW: Today, my office delivered $850,000 in federal funding to renovate two Huston-Tillotson residence halls and the student union!
We're investing in students β the future leaders of Travis County β so they can continue living and learning in East Austin!
Freedom of speech and peaceful assembly are basic constitutional rights.
Student protesters β whether you agree with them or not β have a right to safety & fairness. Responding to peaceful demonstrations with weapons and riot gear escalates tension and makes everyone less safe.
'I hope this vote will show the world that there is a really significant segment of the United States that doesnβt want to see expanded and widening wars.'
