Angela D. Alsobrooks

WASHINGTON, DC – Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) released the following statement after voting to move the CLARITY Act out of the Banking Committee and onto the Senate Floor. The vote was reported favorably by a vote of 15-9. The digital revolution is upon us, and it has presented a clear opportunity to support small businesses, generate wealth, spur innovation, and support younger Americans who want to be part of this revolution. And this digital revolution is happening with us or without us—we have a responsibility to regulate it to create rules of the road.

“It is critical we invest in arts education for students at HBCUs. Just as HBCUs are homes to future lawyers, doctors, scientists, and educators – they are also home to aspiring artists, musicians, actors, and singers. Investing in the arts fuels our economy, brings together our communities, and moves us during challenging times of great division and fear – much like the moment we are in right now. Now, more than ever, we need to bolster our support for HBCUs to ensure they are best equipped to train the next generation of leaders,” said Senator Alsobrooks.

Dr. Means profited from unsafe products with hazardous ingredients, unsafe levels of lead and cadmium, or even traces of forever chemicals. After being given the opportunity at her hearing, Dr. Means refused to tell parents listening that vaccines are safe and effective. At the end of the day, Dr. Means did not have the votes because she proved again and again that she was not qualified. “We need leaders running our nation’s health who actually believe in science and want to keep Americans healthy – not those who work to subvert science and public health programs, sow distrust about vaccines, or push their own corrupt agenda. “Now, we need RFK Jr., who is also deeply unqualified, to resign or be fired.” ### Print Email Share Share Prev Previous Next Next About Biography Voting Record Legislation Committee Assignments Official Headshot News Press Releases In The News Newsletter Signup Services Help with a Federal Agency Tour Requests Internships Scheduling Requests Schedule A Meeting Schedule An Event Appropriations Resources For CDS Applicants Academy Nominations Senate Page Program Flag Requests Greetings Requests Contact Get In Touch Newsletter Signup Scheduling Requests About Biography Voting Record Legislation Committee Assignments Official Headshot News Press Releases In The News Newsletter Signup Services Help with a Federal Agency Tour Requests Internships Scheduling Requests Schedule A Meeting Schedule An Event Appropriations Resources For CDS Applicants Academy Nominations Senate Page Program Flag
