If Republicans are serious about expanding an economy built to last, it’s time for them to work with Democrats and commit to solutions that ensure the success of our small businesses, the security of our middle class, and the economic strength of our country.

"Americans want solutions that create jobs and strengthen the middle class, not Republican-manufactured crises that only drive instability in the economy and uncertainty for consumers.

"On the 86th anniversary of Cesar Chavez's birth, we recall a man, a message, and a mission that transcends communities and generations. We remember his call that 'our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.' We remain inspired to realize the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of all Americans, for the sake of the prosperity of our families, the progress of our workers, and the success of our country."

“Congressman Young’s comments were deeply hurtful, offensive and inappropriate for anyone to utter, let alone a Member of the United States Congress. Congressman Young should fully apologize for deeply offensive comments that were not appropriate in his youth or now.”
