The final vote is the vote to support the agreement, for which I urge a YES vote.

“We stand here united, in observance of this transformational nuclear agreement – an agreement founded not on trust, but on verification, vigilance and enforcement."

“Empowering hard-working families with the bigger paychecks and greater flexibility they need to succeed is vital for the future of our country."

“Our economy continues to make progress, adding another month to the longest uninterrupted period of private sector job growth in American history."

“For more than 13 years, Jerry Hartz’s insight of parliamentary and legislative procedure has been an invaluable asset to my office and the Democratic Caucus.”
