Press Releases

On Wednesday, September 15, we will come closer to achieving President Biden’s and Congressional Democrats’ vision to Build Back Better, as the House Committees of Jurisdiction meet the deadline to submit their legislative proposals to the Budget Committee. 

Congresswoman Barbara Lee has the full confidence of the Congress to continue to represent the United States at the 76th General Assembly of the United Nations. 

It is my sad and great honor to welcome Members of Congress and the Congressional community to the remembrance observing 20 years since the terror attack of September 11th.  

“For nearly three decades, the Violence Against Women Act has stood as one of our nation’s most powerful tools in the fight against sexual and domestic violence.  This landmark legislation, first championed by President Joe Biden during his service in the Senate, has been an invaluable force to rally the nation around ending violence and protecting the safety, rights and dignity of women and girls.  Today, and every day, Americans celebrate the lives saved and the historic progress forged by this landmark legislation, while holding in our hearts the women lost to this horrific violence and their loved ones."

Twenty years ago, the terror attacks on the morning of September 11th forever changed our nation and the world. 

Thank you very much, Mr. McGovern, for your kind words.  Any compliments I received about my work in common – in Congress, I accept on behalf of the House Democrats, the Congressional Democrats who have the courage to make the fight all the time.
