Thanks for having me on Crowley Connect, @DavidCrowleyWI! I enjoyed our chat about how we’re moving Milwaukee County forward with funding for affordable housing, opioid prevention, & Wisconsin’s first-ever Minority Business Development Center, that I helped deliver!

TOWN HALL: I’m holding a public town hall in Benton County with @RepValHoyle on 2/11 at 11:30 AM.
Hearing from Oregonians about the challenges they face and the issues they care most about is crucial to shaping my work in the Senate—I hope to see you there!
My special guest for President Biden’s State of the Union address tonight is Charlene Bencomo, Executive Director of @BoldFutures.
The Restaurant Lobby took millions from workers by charging them for mandatory training, and then secretly used workers’ own money to lobby against higher wages and better benefits. It's outrageous.
@WeRRestaurants owe workers an answer.

Happy #OhioLovesTransit Day.
Here in Ohio, transit helps us get to work, buy groceries, see the doctor, or visit loved ones.
So this week, ride a bus or take the metro, and thank a transit worker—I'll keep fighting for better, safer transit for all Ohioans.
Thanks to @POTUS & Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, we’ve created more than 100,000 clean energy jobs right here in America. These jobs pay well, help combat the climate crisis, and show just how strong a clean energy economy can be.
A report we released yesterday found that the Inflation Reduction Act has already created more than 100,000 clean energy jobs 👩🏭🔋⚡️

Since 2018, Facebook has known that developers in high-risk jurisdictions, like Russia and China, had access to user data that could have facilitated espionage. @MarcoRubio and I are pushing for answers & accountability.
Nevadans continue to pay some of the highest prices in the nation while Big Oil companies are making more in profits than they have in over 100 years.
If big companies are price gouging our families, I’ll fight to hold them accountable.

On National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, we recommit to ending this epidemic that disproportionately impacts Black Americans—especially Black queer people—and supporting all those who live with HIV every day.
Let us end the stigma, expand treatment and #StopHIVTogether.

Enjoyed visiting the Palmer Career and Technical Education Center at Alvirne High School. The Center is home to an on-campus dairy farm, where I met Pumpkin the cow.
Tobacco is a dangerous substance that’s fueling the youth vaping crisis. Protecting Granite Staters from harmful tobacco – including flavored tobacco products that hook teens & adolescents – will continue to be a top priority for me.

Meanwhile, this Wisconsin Senator spent her Sunday on an Ice Breaker in Lake Michigan!
