President Trump continues to tout success under his economic policies, but a look at new reports and recently-released data shows those policies and the uncertainty he has created in our economy are causing real harm:
 

Sunday marked 200 days of a Democratic Majority in the House of Representatives, and in that time, Democrats have made significant progress on behalf of the American people. Democrats have spent the past 200 days advancing our For the People agenda: taking action to lower health care costs and the price of prescription drugs, raise wages, and clean up corruption. Take a look at how Democrats have made progress For the People: 
 

Last November, House Democrats pledged to the American people that lowering health care and prescription drug costs would be a top priority. 

As the Trump Administration continues its efforts to sabotage the Affordable Care Act, which would kick millions of Americans off of their insurance and remove patient protections, House Democrats are working to secure access to affordable health care and lower prescription drug costs as part of our For the People agenda.  

Friday, April 12, marks the 100th day of the House Democratic Majority, and House Democrats have made significant progress on the For The People agenda during that time, working to raise wages and expand economic opportunity; lower health care and prescription drug costs; and ensure working families have the tools to make it in America.

This week, the House passed the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization of 2019, a five-year reauthorization introduced by Rep. Karen Bass (CA-37), with bipartisan support.

Three months into the Congress, House Democrats continue to make progress on the For The People agenda focused on cleaning up corruption in Washington, lowering health care and prescription drug costs, raising wages, and rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure. 

Today, House Democrats, led by Representatives Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-40), Nydia Velázquez (NY-07), and Yvette Clarke (NY-09) will introduce H.R. 6, the Dream and Promise Act of 2019.

House Democrats are recognizing this week as “Sunshine Week,” an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to open, transparent government that works of, by, and for the people.

House Democrats promised that a Democratic House Majority would act quickly to restore our democracy. This week, we are delivering on that promise with H.R.1, the For The People Act.
