I got to be a leader of HHS during these most historic times. We are on the front lines of a long overdue national change — fixing a broken health system.

There’s a reason that no earlier President was successful in passing health reform, despite decades of attempts.

The hour has come for a new generation to lead the Democratic Congress that I so deeply respect.

To say you have no choice is to relieve yourself of responsibility.

Voting whether or not to remove a sitting President has been a truly difficult decision, and after listening to the arguments presented by both sides, I have reached my conclusion reluctantly. For the reasons above I must vote yes on the articles of impeachment. I take no pleasure in these votes, and am saddened this is the legacy we leave our children and grandchildren. I have always wanted this President, and every President to succeed, but I deeply love our country and must do what I think is best for the nation.

The obligation of the government to protect the public health, safety, morals and general welfare.
