“Communities of color, including Latinos, often lack access to culturally appropriate mental health care, which can negatively affect their health outcomes,” Menendez said in a statement. “One of the best ways to combat this inequity is by improving outreach and educating communities about the benefits of behavioral and mental health care, and that’s why I’m co-leading this legislation with Sen. Padilla and Congresswoman Napolitano. We want to ensure that Latinos have all the necessary tools, resources and information when accessing behavioral and mental health services.”

While the economic recovery continues to take hold, the last thing we need is for Republicans to create an additional tax burden that will further raise costs and squeeze the pocketbooks of hardworking families.

Sen. Bob Menendez Says Radical GOP Tax Proposal Is ‘Dead On Arrival’ A sales tax that would raise grocery bills by $3,500? Sounds great – if you're a billionaire or a wealthy corporation, Bob Menendez says.

I'm outraged by today's decision from this radicalized right-wing Supreme Court majority. But make no mistake, this decades-long Republican assault on women's rights didn't start in the courts. It started years ago in state and local races all over the country.

Those who have supported and championed efforts to erode women's rights to reproductive care are on the wrong side of history and do not deserve to represent us in office. Elections have consequences, so it's up to each one of us who believe in a woman's right to choose to make sure Republicans are on the losing side of every election where they're on the ballot.
