Since January 20, President Donald Trump and advisors like Elon Musk have taken aggressive, sweeping actions to attack the federal workforce, which will harm all Americans who count on Social Security, Medicare, veterans benefits, and other critical federal services.
I am committed to a strong and nonpartisan civil service that can deliver for the American people. I oppose Trump’s actions to purge the civil service and try to force dedicated public servants off the job. I remain concerned that the proposed “deferred resignation” is a dubious means to cause a mass exodus in the federal government.

If you are a government employee with information related to the politicization of the federal workforce, the firing of civil servants, and waste, fraud, or abuse of taxpayer dollars, you may reach out anonymously to the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
