U.S. Rep.-elect Ben McAdams of Utah and more than 40 other freshman House Democrats penned a letter to their future leaders Monday, saying they want to focus on policy issues above investigating the Trump administration. Addressing the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs, immigration, gun safety, infrastructure, the environment and criminal justice reform should lead the agenda, they wrote. “While we have a duty to exercise oversight over the Executive Branch, particularly when the Administration crosses legal lines or contravenes American values, we must prioritize action” on the list of policy issues, the message states. The letter went to the Democratic leadership team, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
