I had the opportunity to visit the Red Cross fire victims shelter at the convention center. There are about 200 folks being taken care of by about three dozen great Red Cross volunteers. Many very elderly with health conditions and nowhere else to go. Thank you to all of you. Who are supporting the Red Cross as our community deals with these devastating fires.

Had a great time on The Briefing with Steve Scully to discuss why we need the SAVE America Act. Restoring confidence in our elections starts with ensuring only American citizens vote in our elections. The American people deserve an election system they can trust, and I believe the SAVE Act is an important step toward rebuilding that confidence.🇺🇸
