I am grateful to Chair Representative Harold Naughton, Chair Senator Mike Moore, and members of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee for hearing the #SafeCommunitiesAct today. I support this legislation because we need to ensure the safety and security of our immigrants.

All people deserve the right to due process and to live free from fear of unnecessary questioning about their immigration status.

Proud to testify in support of H.2837, a bill I filed that would update the #BottleBill by expanding the containers that can be redeemed for #deposits to include water bottles and other containers. The bill would improve #recycling rates and save cities and towns money.
