    Disaster relief is a humanitarian issue, not a wedge issue, no matter what the president says. Thank you Gov. for meeting with me to discuss how we can work together to rebuild disaster-affected areas in Puerto Rico.

    In Puerto Rico. The date on this whiteboard is Sept. 15th 2017, just days before Hurricane Maria struck. This school, Escuela Juan Antonio Corretjer, remains closed. It is a tragic reminder that as disaster relief is held up, we are failing our children, our fellow U.S. citizens.

    En PR. La fecha en esta pizarra es 15 de sept. de 2017, días después de que azotara Irma y días antes de María. La Escuela Juan Antonio Corretjer, sigue cerrada, como un recordatorio trágico que la ayuda no ha llegado. Le estamos fallando a nuestra niñez y a nuestros compatriotas

    I also got to peek into the boiler room — so it feels like a good time to plug that I have a plan to invest in the next generation of leaders by improving school infrastructure! Read more about it here:

    Paid family leave is just common sense — it helps working families and our economy. Gov. Sununu's veto of SB1 hurts Granite Staters. As president, I'd make ensuring paid family leave a priority

    The law Gov. Kemp signed in Georgia bans women from making their own health care decisions. It literally makes them criminals if they leave the state to seek the care they need. Health care decisions should be between patients and doctors. End of story.

    Please, take a minute and listen to Janice Weiner. Her powerful story about her daughter’s battle with substance use highlights why it's so important to combat addiction and prioritize mental health care.

    Veterans’ wounds aren’t always visible. Access to mental health care is so important, and we need to make it a priority in this country.

    Last night I had noted that doing the FOX town hall was a little bit like being a Vikings fan walking onto Lambeau Field, but I've always said you can't just go where it's comfortable. I want to move this country forward for all Americans.
