Sending thoughts and prayers to Sue Serino as she battles breast cancer. Sue never turns away from a challenge, and although she didn’t ask for this one, I know she will face it head on and come out on top.

First #nursinghomes hearing left many unanswered questions. Time for Democrats to use subpoena power to ensure the public gets real answers on #COVID19 tragedy.

Our veterans have given so much to our country to protect our freedoms and way of life, and in some cases, they have made the ultimate sacrifice. Please take a moment today to remember those wounded or lost in the line of duty. #PurpleHeartDay
