- Jasmine Crockett
- Henry Cuellar
- Dwight Evans
- Lizzie Fletcher
- Ruben Gallego

- Raúl M. Grijalva
- Ted Lieu
- Kevin Mullin
- Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
- Katie Porter
- Mikie Sherrill
- Eric Swalwell
- Jennifer Wexton
I almost hope they do it but just for a short time before it causes anyone harm. Maybe some people need a wake up call to realize that Republicans just care about the billionaires.
