The most important title in a democracy isn't President or Congressman—it's citizen. It's on all of us to stay engaged and stand up for the future we want to see.

As Frederick Douglass said, "The life of a nation is secure only when the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous." My priority is bringing those values back to our government.

My focus is on tackling the corruption in Washington, restoring faith, and giving our government back to the people.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 30(source)

Public offices are meant to serve the public. This kind of self-dealing is the corruption we have to root out before we can rebuild trust in our government.

After the big shutdown fight, Republicans passed a short-term band-aid that only gets us to January. We've got to get to work funding the government in a way that supports hardworking Americans and secures affordable healthcare.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 26(source)

This is heartbreaking news to hear in what is supposed to be a time of fellowship and thanksgiving. My prayers are with the National Guard members’ families. Violence like this cannot, and will not, be accepted.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 25(source)

In the richest and most advanced nation in human history, it’s insulting that families are still worried about putting food on the table. We have a responsibility to confront this crisis head-on—and I refuse to stand idly by as Donald Trump continues to use hunger as a weapon.
