Dear Neighbor,
This week I was hard at work in Washington standing up to keep us all safe. From standing up to
protect safety on Main Street to pushing to protect the first amendment , I am working to end violence
in our streets. As I bring your stories to the halls of Congress, I wanted t o t ake a moment to show you
what I’ve been working on.
ST ANDING TO PROT E CT MAIN ST R E E T
This week I pressed FBI Director Kash Patel on how budget cuts to the FBI will affect people’s safety
back home. The budget bill includes increased funding to protect Congress, t he Supreme Court, and
the Administration, yet slashes funding for the FBI who are working to keep Main Street safe. With
1,300 fewer agents on the ground, law enforcement is being asked to do more with less. This is
unacceptable. Neighborhoods must be protected from domestic terrorism and other serious threats
to our safety.

DEFE NDING THE FIRST AMENDMENT
The foundation of our nation’s democracy is freedom of speech, enshrined in t he first amendment to
our constitution. Recently, we’ve seen an increase in political violence on both sides of the aisle, first
with lawmakers in Minnesota, and now Charlie Kirk. Political assassinations and other acts of
violence, hurt our freedom of speech, our democracy and our Nation. While I may not agree w ith
Charike Kirk’s views, freedom of speech must be protected. It is the hallmark of American Democracy.
And, that’s why I also strongly disagree with the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, and firing Stephen
Colbert, for merely expressing their first amendment rights. We must reject all forms of violence,
encourage dialogue, and push for respectful political discourse. We can disagree on our view s and our
message, but it should never lead to political violence or political assassination.
EMPOWE RING T HE NEXT GENERAT ION OF LAT INO LE ADE RS
I also attended the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s leadership conference, where I spoke
about the future of Latino leadership in this country. I was honored to be surrounded by
changemakers from all around the county. Hispanic Americans have always been a part of our
nation’s great history and our contributions will never be silenced. We are taxpayers, voters,
servicemembers, and citizens. Now is our moment to stand together and fight for the future that
generations of our ancestors worked to secure for us.

SUPPORTING O UR TRO UPS
I also packed toiletry kits to be sent to our servicemembers who are currently deployed. Every day, our
soldiers perform the ultimate act of patriotism. Making sure our servicemembers have the supplies
they need is the least we can do to thank them for their service.
