That's why, in honor of my late friend and voting rights pioneer, Congressman John Lewis, I've been proud to introduce a bill that bears his name. It's the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Amendment Act. It restores and strengthens the Voting Rights Act. I'm working with Senator Warnock of Georgia, who is co-sponsoring this bill with me. and we're going to try to make sure as it stays in court our day in the Senate. As we say, we also need to advance additional tools against current voter suppression efforts. (15:53–16:04)
