Our Air Traffic Controllers are already stretched thin, and we haven't upgraded their equipment in decades. The U.S. must always be the gold standard for aviation safety. That's why I'm fighting to update technologies, decrease disruptions, and give controllers the tools they need to do their job.

Epstein survivors are stepping forward again and calling on Congress to help uncover the truth. This fight isn't political — it's about accountability for unspeakable crimes. It's past time we vote to release the files to expose what happened and who's responsible.
