Recently I was appointed Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. I am honored and grateful for the trust Leader Jeffries has placed in me to lead the critically important work of protecting our country and overseeing the Intelligence Community. In an interview with the Associated Press, I discussed …
In his State of the Union speech on Tuesday President Biden highlighted America’s resilience and determination by pointing to the progress made during the last Congress. In the last two years, we made the biggest investment to fight climate change in history, we invested billions to rebuild and repair our infrastructure, capped the cost of …
Thanks to our amazing team, we won. I’m grateful for the tens of thousands of Connecticut voters who put their trust in me to continue fighting for them in Congress. I’m humbled by your support.
