Quotes

It doesn’t matter if it’s a Republican-led administration or an executive branch taking marching orders from a Democrat in the Oval Office. Mismanagement seems to be a non-partisan problem in need of a solution. The public has a right to know. That’s why I work so hard to let the sunshine in how the government conducts the people’s business. My spotlight also targets Congress. For starters, my landmark Congressional Accountability Act enacted 10 years ago puts Capitol Hill under the same workplace safety and civil rights laws that impact Main Street businesses. Now I’m pushing to provide whistleblower protections to employees of the legislative branch. Opening up the people’s business to the light of day will strengthen representative government. That’s why I am committed to putting an end to “secret holds” in the U.S. Senate and allowing cameras into federal courts.
