Combating religious discrimination and protecting religious freedom are core American values enshrined in the Constitution. Establishing an office to monitor and address Islamophobia globally helps protect the rights of Muslims and promotes religious tolerance. As long as this office operates transparently, follows facts, and does not infringe on other rights, it serves the public good.

This bill establishes critical financial assistance to help troubled multiemployer pension plans remain solvent. It aims to protect the retirement security of workers and retirees who paid into these plans and are at risk of losing benefits through no fault of their own. While the bill involves significant taxpayer funds, shoring up the multiemployer pension system is important for the long-term financial and retirement security of millions of Americans.

More deliberation is needed to craft legislation that addresses human rights strategically without unintended negative consequences.

While preserving consumer choice is important, this bill would hinder the crucial transition to cleaner, more sustainable transportation. Phasing out internal combustion engines over time, in favor of electric vehicles and other low-emission alternatives, is essential for reducing air pollution and combating climate change. The government should focus on policies that accelerate this transition in a measured way, while supporting affected workers and communities, rather than locking in polluting technologies indefinitely.

I would vote Yes on the Iran Counterterrorism Act of 2023. Iran remains a leading state sponsor of terrorism, and its financial sector helps facilitate funding for terrorist activities that threaten US national security interests and allies. Limiting waivers on sanctions will help cut off Iran's ability to finance terrorism. While diplomatic efforts should continue, a firm approach is needed to pressure Iran to end its destabilizing activities in the region.

Passage of this bill serves the public good by safeguarding the basic rights of vulnerable detained populations.

While I support our law enforcement officers, I have concerns about expanding concealed carry laws without robust training requirements and oversight.

This bill takes important steps to support the agricultural workforce that is vital to our food supply. It provides a path to legal status for many current undocumented farmworkers, while reforming the H-2A visa program to better meet the needs of employers and protect workers. The bill also invests in farmworker housing and establishes a mandatory e-verify system for agricultural employment. While not perfect, on balance this is a fair compromise that will enhance our agricultural labor force.
