But Alito’s latest scandal—flying the “Appeal to Heaven” flag at his New Jersey beach house—makes me grateful, because it might help save our imperiled American demo… Continue Reading

Though they are mostly out of sight, these marine habitats play an essential role in keeping our air and water clean, soaking up excess carbo… Continue Reading

Congressman pushes for justice along seafood supply chain
As your congressman, I work on a wide range of issues that are important and well publicized. But some of the most impactful work I did in 2023 involves something that is unknown and unseen by most people, yet vitally important.
