Leader @NancyPelosi ushered in Obamacare & campaigned relentlessly during this election season. She has the experience, compassion, intellect, & skill to lead us during this crucial time. She’s demonstrated her great dedication to our democrat ideals and should be our Speaker.
Couldn’t have put it better than @ktumulty: @NancyPelosi should be the next Speaker of the House because she is extraordinarily good at it. We need her now more than ever to be a check on this administration.

Let’s be clear — we must elect pro-choice & anti-filibuster Senate candidates to restore abortion rights. We need 2 more Senators to protect abortion nationwide—both @JohnFetterman in PA and @TheOtherMandela in WI will end the filibuster & codify Roe. We cannot waver from this.

He should get used to it! Can't wait to get to work with our next Speaker @NancyPelosi and our fantastic freshman class in advocating for the American people — and serving as a proper check on this President.
Nancy Pelosi just did something that not a single Republican has had the guts to do in 2 years. Stand up to Trump, in public, to his face.

I won't tell you simply to vote. Congress needs to do the hard stuff — ending the filibuster to pass abortion protections nationally. @JohnFetterman will join existing Senators to help us end the filibuster & codify Roe. And @JoshShapiroPA will keep abortion legal in PA.

If the reported gerrymandered Congressional maps are sent to the Governor, I urge him to veto. For the first time in years, the PA Supreme Court ensured fair maps in 2018. Our Commonwealth can’t return to politicians picking their voters. Voters must choose their politicians.

Thank you to the maintenance and custodial workers who are the backbone of the Capitol. Members of Congress and their staff were not the only ones affected by the attack — Capitol support staff were also put at risk. Their work does not go unappreciated. They are unsung heroes.
Yesterday, a mob of pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol in a failed attempt to stop Congress certifying the election. Today, these workers are cleaning up the destruction they left behind:

Threatening a witness is deeply problematic and completely unacceptable. This comment crosses the line professionally, ethically, and morally. It is beneath the office we hold, and is dishonorable to the people we represent. This toxicity has no place in Congress.

I will always stand with women and their right to choose. I think of my mother in law’s story -her mother was pressured by her church to keep her 8th child against the advice of doctors. Both mother and child died. Tragedies like this are unacceptable & #WhyIRun.
We all have our own stories about health scares, insurance trouble, and times when we couldn't access care at all. Our pro-choice Democratic women were driven to run for office by their stories. Today, we're asking them to share those stories to show #WhyIRun for office.

I am running because I believe in good public service that rebuilds our infrastructure, grows the economy of #PA04, ensures universal healthcare, lifts and celebrates our diversity, protects a woman's right to choose, and practices ethical government. #Mad4PA #PA04 #PA4.
There's a lot we're sad, angry, and frustrated about. And surprisingly, there's also a lot to be hopeful for. So today we're asking our pro-choice Democratic women to tell us: Why are you running for office? What are you fighting for? #WhyIRun.

The stakes are too high to let anything stand in the way of a Democrat being elected to the U.S. Senate from PA. I’ve decided the best way I can ensure that happens is to suspend my campaign and commit to doing whatever I can to help ensure we flip this Senate seat. #PASEN
