As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party, and I'm very disappointed in you. You do have the power to call the House back. You refused to do that just for a show.

I spoke at a Steering & Policy Committee hearing where I shared #OR06 constituents Conni and Steve's stories.

If Republicans do not extend the premium tax credits, Americans like Conni and Steve will face devastating impacts to their wallets.

To my Republican colleagues: do the right thing.
