Dear Friends!
As we enter the most active part of the hurricane season, I urge everyone to be prepared. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted an above-average storm season with nearly twice as many named storms as previous seasons.
While our state continues to deal with the impacts of COVID- 19, please take the steps now to ensure your family’s safety. Review your emergency plans and storm evacuation zones and learn what needs to be done in case of an emergency. To find hurricane preparation resources such as emergency numbers, hurricane shelters, and more, please visit Deutch. House.Gov/Hurricane.
The ‘‘Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act” is a bipartisan bill I introduced with Reps. Joe Wilson (SC-02), Ted Lieu (CA-33), and Michael Waltz (FL-06). The bill would strengthen the United States
government recovery efforts of American hostages abroad.
I joined Rep. David Trone (MD-06) in reintroducing the National Criminal Justice Commission Act, legislation that would assemble a commission of experts with experience in law enforcement, court administration, victims’ rights, civil rights, and social services to conduct a complete review of all facets of our criminal justice system. The bill comes after the House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act in July, which included unprecedented reforms to transform the culture of policing by curbing police brutality, ending racial profiling, and increasing transparency and accountability.
Our community has been met with many challenges this
year, but together we will be able to get through them. As
always, please do not hesitate to reach out to my office if we
can be of any assistance.
