    Public officials should work for you, not themselves. That’s why I was the first member of Congress to post my official schedule, financial disclosures and tax returns online, and why I banned corporate PAC money from my campaign. I would be honored to continue to serve NY.

    Why I'm running.

    Mitch McConnell just objected to an attempt for the Senate to bring the bipartisan bill to protect Mueller to the Senate floor. That is deeply troubling. It is clear that the American people want answers. We must protect this investigation.

    This bipartisan bill would create a national standard of care for and prohibit the use of restraints and restrictive housing on pregnant women and new moms in custody to end this archaic treatment. I hope our colleagues in Congress will act swiftly to pass this legislation.

    This mistreatment of pregnant women and new mothers can lead to hemorrhaging, mental and physical harm, and even miscarriage. Congress should be protecting and valuing all pregnant women and mothers. That’s why and I introduced the Pregnant Women in Custody Act.

    Women deserve the care to keep themselves and their babies safe, wherever they are in our society. But in our deeply flawed criminal justice system, pregnant incarcerated women are restrained or placed in solitary without access to proper medical care. It’s inhumane.

    When Americans get a say, they make clear how important access to health care is to their lives. They raised their voices to stop Republicans from repealing the Affordable Care Act. Voters in Idaho, Nebraska and Utah just expanded Medicaid. Our job is to listen.
