I was glad to see my bipartisan legislation with
@SenGillibrand, the Officer John Barnes and Chief Michael Ansbro Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program Expansion Act of 2026, get passed unanimously out of the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday.
It takes important steps to speed up and strengthen benefits for injured public safety officers.
Law enforcement officers put themselves in harm’s way to protect our communities, and we have a duty to stand by them.
