Federal Employee Resources
I know this is a scary time for everyone, including the 34,000 federal employees and numerous federal contractors that live in my district. I am strongly opposed to Republicans’ efforts to illegally slash the federal workforce, and I’m fighting back to protect my constituents, their jobs, and their businesses.
I am actively supporting legislation such as the Saving the Civil Service Act, which would ban the establishment of Schedule F and protect federal employees from at-will firings. Additionally, I joined my colleagues on the Oversight Committee in demanding President Trump immediately rescind the "Fork in the Road" offers and stop the purge of the federal civil service. I am dedicated to leveraging the oversight authority of Congress to obtain communications and documents related to these attacks on federal employees. I am also supportive of various lawsuits that have been filed in court to slow and stop these efforts. Federal employees make America great, and I will not stand by while they are terrorized for political points.
My office has put together a few resources that may be helpful at this time, due to House Ethics rules I can only share official government resources. Please know that I appreciate your feedback and suggestions and I am always looking for more ways to support my constituents.
