Mom. Immigrant. Former Congresswoman. 1st Ecuadorian-American in Congress. Fighting for lower health care costs, commonsense gun reform & combat climate change.
The Republican Senate needs to honor the nearly 200,000 lives we’ve lost & do everything in its power to prevent further losses. They need to pass the #HeroesAct, which we passed months ago, and they need to pass it now.
I just played this video for @HouseJudiciary.
And @Jim_Jordan couldn’t tell the difference between Trump’s America & Maduro’s narco regime.
I think I proved my point.
I did not have the privilege to be born in this country. I came to this county when I was 14. As a member of Congress, I represent a district with one of the most diverse and unique immigrant populations. Half of our district was born in another country.
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......
My 11 year old daughter was recently locked out of her classroom during an active shooter drill. She told me if it were real, she would ask the shooter not to shoot, to think of their own sibling.
Our kids shouldn’t have to live with this fear. #EndGunViolence
Honored to work with @carlosvecchio to help the Venezuelan people restore their democracy! We must help @jguaido’s efforts in Venezuela, implement a moratorium on deportations of non-criminal Venezuelans & grant TPS so Venezuelans can find a safe place in the US. #VenezuelaLibre
Denuncio el violento ataque contra el presidente interino Juan Guaidó
Debemos responsabilizar al régimen narco-autoritario de Maduro y a los colectivos leales
@jguaido, apoyamos tus esfuerzos para levantar el pueblo a la libertad y democracia.
Venezolanos no serán intimidados.
.@GOP Senators are saying the House should’ve heard from the witnesses Schumer is asking for. I want to remind them: @POTUS obstructed us from hearing those witnesses—that’s one of the articles. @SenateGOP you can find the truth, what are you afraid of? #DefendOurDemocracy
Republicans dragged out today’s markup to last 13 hours & force us to vote in the middle of the night. Instead, we will vote tomorrow morning in the light of day in front of the American people.
No one is above the law.

I am an immigrant, not an extraterrestrial. No one who comes here to work and contribute to our nation should be treated with disrespect. #ProtectTheDream
