Democratic 2022 Representative In Congress

RICHARD E. NEAL

Congressman Neal has spent his career dedicated to serving others, motivated by the experiences of people he has met along the way and his own personal story. Throughout his district and across the nation, he is known as a champion of the middle class, an advocate for fairness, and a voice of reason. Former western Massachusetts Congressman John Olver has called him “one of the most powerful voices in the Democratic caucus.”

IMMIGRATION

Richie believes that immigrants make America great. The way the Trump administration has weaponized hatred toward immigrants is shameful, and Richie will continue to stand up to such rhetoric. 

In particular, Donald Trump has singled out refugees who come to the US fleeing violence in Latin America, tearing families apart and subjecting them to inhumane treatment in border detention facilities. Richie traveled to the border to visit ICE detainment centers personally, and has denounced the way those taken into custody - including young children - are being treated. 

Richie is a supporter of the DREAM Act, and he worked closely with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to craft an amendment extending Affordable Care Act benefits to DREAMers.

He believes that we must do more to create pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, to welcome new Americans, to live up to our reputation as the Land of Opportunity, and to protect immigrant communities from all forms of intolerance.

  • He supports a pathway to citizenship for DREAMers.

  • He supports birthright citizenship.

  • He voted NO on Trump’s border wall.

  • He voted to expand America’s work visa program.

  • He spoke out against a proposal to increase funding for ICE.
