Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs. Instead, their reckless actions are making everything more expensive for hardworking Americans. Families can't afford $4 gas — they need to put food on the table. When will Republicans start putting Americans first?

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of touring the Huckleberry House facility to see firsthand how this organization is aiding youth who are struggling with homelessness, family conflict, poverty, and violence. I am proud of the important work they're doing for our Columbus community.

My bill, the Free Credit Scores for Consumers Act, ensures access to free credit scores and credit reports and disclosure of how scores are calculated. A more accessible and transparent credit reporting system is essential to put Americans on the path to financial success.
Did you know that poor financial knowledge costs the average American $900+ every single year, and over $200 billion nationwide? That’s money lost to overdraft fees, high-interest debt, and missed savings opportunities. Financial literacy isn’t just a skill — it’s money in your pocket!💡

ICYMI: I was honored to welcome the National Urban League for their 2026 Empowerment Day. Standing alongside President Morial and Leader Jeffries, we sent a clear message: our history cannot be erased, and our seat at the table will not be moved.
It’s Income Tax Day! 💰 Unfortunately, this administration isn’t interested in working for Americans—today or any other day. Trump promised an extra $1,000 in tax refunds, but families are receiving 65% less. With the cost of living surging, families are left footing the bill. It’s just plain wrong.

Yesterday, at the American Electric Power CEO Immersion Day in DC, I had the chance to speak to employees from the Columbus HQ team. It was inspiring to share ideas, hear their perspectives, and speak to the strength of partnerships across our teams to help empower our communities.
The Republican "SAVE Act" doesn't "save" anything — it TAKES. This isn't about voter fraud or immigrants. It's about silencing women and communities of color at the ballot box. I made it clear at this week's 37th Delta Day on the Hill, because we need everyone on board to protect voting rights.
This week, I proudly joined my DST sorors, for the 37th Delta Days at the Nation's Capitol. As Dean of the Capitol Hill Deltas, I will always lead the charge in turning advocacy into social action — because in the face of adversity, Deltas ALWAYS rise. #DDNC2026 #OneDeltaOneMission
Today, we honor the 16th anniversary of the ACA, which expanded affordable healthcare coverage to 50+ million Americans. Yet, Republicans refused to extend the tax credits, doubling and tripling costs. Democrats are holding the line and advocating for critical care — because families depend on it.
Eid Mubarak to all celebrating today and this week. May your Eid be filled with peace, joy, and blessings. 🌙✨
Due to the persistence of my legal team and me, I was able to attend yesterday’s Kennedy Center meeting and voice my opposition to the closure. But this fight is far from over. 🔗 Watch the full interview with Jake Tapper at the link here: https://bit.ly/3NIVk3q

Heartbroken to hear that U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Tyler Simmons, was one of the six servicemembers killed in a refueling aircraft crash. My heart is with Tyler’s family and the families of the other five servicemembers who were killed, including two other Ohioans. We will remember their sacrifice.
Yesterday, I attended a federal court hearing demanding that I have a voice at the upcoming Kennedy Center meeting, voting rights as an ex-officio board member, and full transparency into Trump's plans to close the Kennedy Center. I will not stop raising my voice. 🔗More here: https://bit.ly/4lLVi7L
