Federal statements
EconomyNo. 01/12
The federal minimum wage should be raised above $7.25 an hour.
Background
The federal minimum wage has been $7.25 an hour since 2009. States and cities can set higher minimums, and many do.
Federal premium subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans should be expanded.
Background
These subsidies lower the monthly cost of health plans bought on HealthCare.gov and state marketplaces. Expanding them would lower premiums for more buyers and increase federal spending.
I fully support finishing physical wall construction in high-traffic sectors, utilizing targeted structural barriers paired with advanced surveillance infrastructure.

Federal law should require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales.
Background
Federal law requires background checks for sales by licensed dealers but not for most sales between private individuals. This would extend the requirement to private sales.
Abortion laws should be set by each state rather than by Congress.
Background
Since the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, each state sets its own abortion laws. Agreeing means Congress should not pass a national law that either expands or restricts access.
Today, I voted in favor of the Women's Health Protection Act because every woman in every state deserves guaranteed access to reproductive health care, including abortion.

The federal government should limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
Background
This would set federal limits on the carbon pollution power plants release. It concerns regulation by agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency.
The U.S. should keep broad tariffs on imported goods.
Background
Tariffs are taxes paid on imported goods. Since 2025 the U.S. has applied tariffs to imports from most countries, and this statement is about keeping them in place.
A tariff is a tax. Tonight we will take a vote, and I hope some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will join with Senator Kaine and many of us in recognizing it is ludicrous to use the special emergency powers...

A president should be able to send the National Guard into a state over its governor's objection.
Background
Governors normally command their state's National Guard, but federal law lets a president take control of it in some situations. Since 2025, the use of that power to send troops into cities has been challenged in court.
I trust local law enforcement, Mayor Bass, and Governor Newsom when they say that violence won't be tolerated and that they are able to handle these protests without the military.

Congress and the administration must provide additional aid, stronger sanctions, and closer cooperation with our allies to show Putin that he cannot outlast us.
