Building the cities that we deserve with The Modern Cities Act (MCA).
In my first 100 days in Congress, I’m going to introduce a bi-partisan bill called the Modern Cities Act.
This legislation will finally take our American cities into the 21st century we all deserve. It will modernize police departments and improve public safety. We will save our small businesses and revive our commercial districts. And we will pave the path to end homelessness. These problems are solvable and we have tangible solutions. But we need your support.
