Senate Republicans should join us to lower your medicine prices. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

We must stand strong against violent extremism like the Buffalo shooter. That’s why last week the House passed the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act. Those obstructing our bill in the Senate must get out of the way and let us protect the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

I will always fight for a future where Florida’s women are treated as fully equal citizens, where they—not any politician—have the freedom to control their own body, life, and future. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Gas prices are still too high. The Senate must act quickly and pass our legislation from the House to stop price gouging. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

With costs high as they are, even good-paying jobs are sometimes not enough to make ends meet. Fair housing costs must be prioritized in Central Florida. I am working to bring down costs for families. — PolitiTweet.org

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in America. — PolitiTweet.org

I trust America’s women to make the best decisions for themselves and their families. #DefendRoe — PolitiTweet.org

It has been 10 years since Sandy Hook and zero meaningful gun safety bills have passed the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot tolerate uncompetitive markets where profits come at the expense of Florida families. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Housing costs are out of control in Florida, and rent is going up by hundreds of dollars. This is unsustainable. As the daughter of a maid and a janitor, I believe if you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to find safe, reliable housing in our community. — PolitiTweet.org

Please join me in congratulating the people of Guyana on their 56th anniversary of Independence. The US maintains strong partnership with Guyana and worked closely during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide vaccines to the Guyanese people. I look forward to our future partnership. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

I cofounded the Haiti Caucus in Congress because Haitian Americans are a big part of what makes Florida special. We will continue to fight for stability, security, and democracy in Haiti, and for the American Dream for all Haitian Americans. Happy #HaitianHeritageMonth. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

As a former police chief, missing children and related cases are among the most painful and devastating to work on. Parents, please talk to your children about kidnapping safety and build a plan together. #NationalMissingChildrensDay — PolitiTweet.org

Two years after the murder of George Floyd we are still working to hold America to its promise of liberty and justice for all. Accountability matters. Please continue to pray for his family. — PolitiTweet.org

Another school shooting. I can hardly speak. Every parent in America should be mad as hell that the Senators of the greatest country in the world have chosen not to do a damn thing about innocent people gunned down in innocent places. Praying for the victims at Robb Elementary. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

As a law enforcement officer, when something went wrong, we asked ourselves: what could we have done different? How could we have saved that one additional life? We need to hold Congress to the same standard, fix what’s broken, and stand up to violence and extremism. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The first Operation Flight Formula flight landed in the US carrying 70,000 lbs. of baby formula. Getting parents the resources they need for their infants is our top priority. We passed baby formula funding last week. The Senate must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

As a former Chief of Police, our community expected us to do something and we did. Partnerships are critical to preventing domestic terrorism and violent extremism like the Buffalo mass shooting. Working together, we can make a difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Violent extremism is a threat to every American. Mourning the victims is not enough. Faith without works is dead. We must confront and stop these campaigns of targeted incitement and violence before they rear their ugly head in your city or town. — PolitiTweet.org

With or without a college degree, Americans are back to work in full force. The U.S. economy has seen record breaking job creation. Our top priority now is bringing down costs of healthcare, housing, gas, groceries, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

She once said this: “It is easy enough to vote right and be consistently with the majority. But it is more often more important to be ahead of the majority and this means being willing to cut the first furrow in the ground and stand alone for a while if necessary.” https://t.co/5SQ2AO2REk — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

After she left Congress, she went on to a long career of advocacy for her state and the American people. Then, in her later years, she ran for Congress again, returning to represent her constituents and fighting to expand access to health care as her top priority. https://t.co/mSsoHavlhD — PolitiTweet.org

Crucially, she led the way to pass Title IX, which today protects students from sexual discrimination. After her death, Title IX was renamed the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act in her honor. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

As the first woman of color in Congress, Rep. Mink was pivotal in passing bills to expand childcare, and education bills including Head Start. She worked to protect the environment and fix our immigration system. https://t.co/TszDAKGP17 — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

In the 1950s, she became involved in politics, working with Japanese-American veterans suffering discrimination despite honorable service in WWII. She ran for office and won. Then Hawaii became a state. She ran for Congress. She lost, ran again, and won. https://t.co/zPnViKsU6D — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

She would go on to fight throughout her life to end racial and gender discrimination, saying, “We have to build things...to make sure that others do not have to suffer the same discrimination.” — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Patsy dreamed of being a doctor. She attended a segregated college. Ten medical schools turned her down. She attended law school instead. She passed the bar. No firm would hire her. So, she opened her own, becoming the first Japanese-American woman to practice law in Hawaii. — PolitiTweet.org
