One way to show solidarity with Asian Americans during Heritage Month is to confirm Julie Su and let her go to work in representing all American workers. #ConfirmJulieSuNow
At DOL through the Inclusive Capitalism work, Julie also proactively engaged small business stakeholders, particularly regarding retirement, paid family and medical leave, and other benefits that small employers historically struggle to provide. @SenSchumer #ConfirmJulieSuNow

More people need to pay attention to this and what the 1/6 committee continues to uncover. I'm not one to be alarmist, but voters need to recognize that democracy is at stake here.
