Tia Koester remodeled her fixer upper on Mount Charleston in 2014. But after storms brought on by Tropical Storm Hilary flooded her house last month, she’s going to have to do it again.
As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I am dedicated to prioritizing the needs of our military service members and their families. It is disappointing that certain amendments benefiting our service members were rejected, while extreme factions sought to deny access to healthcare and eliminate diverse positions within the military. Senate Democrats must prioritize national security and remove these contentious measures from the bill to ensure its successful implementation. Furthermore, derogatory remarks made by a fellow congressman are unacceptable, and an apology is necessary.
As a member of the Equality Caucus, I'm thrilled to celebrate the reintroduction of the #EqualityAct. This legislation creates concrete nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQI+ people. I proudly voted for it last Congress, & now it's time to pass these protections into law.
