Last month, I reached out on World Food Day to discuss the issue of food insecurity in our country. It's time to walk the walk, too. Literally.

Every year, I join radio personality, Monte Belmonte's annual march against hunger through the Pioneer Valley. For two days, I will march alongside Monte, and a number of supporters in pushing a shopping cart 43 miles from Springfield to Greenfield to raise awareness about hunger in our region and money for The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.

Since we took back the House, we've passed nearly a dozen bills to expand coverage and improve affordability in our existing health care system and lower costs for prescription drugs.

Despite this success, we're still facing an uphill battle with Big Pharma, Senate Republicans, and their supporters. With nearly one in four Americans who rely on prescription drugs say they're having trouble affording their medication – we need action sooner, rather than later.

As people turn out to vote across America, it's good to look back on 2019.

This year has been about starting to get our country back on track.

2020? It's about the future. With one year to go until what is arguably the most critical election of our lifetime, we can't afford to slow down.
