Since 2001, I've done what every elected official should be doing in government right now. My staff and I took a look at the books, thought outside the box and proposed reforms.
I introduced the Transparency in Government Act, a multi-faceted transparency bill that would bring unprecedented access and accountability to the federal government.
I am committed to working towards a more transparent, accountable, and ethical federal government worthy of the publics trust.
I've seen it with my own eyes: When government takes money from the poor and the middle class, everyone suffers.
Ever since I arrived in Washington in April 2009, I have been fighting for more transparency and accountability in government.
