In a statement about
April’s jobs report, Rep.
Bobby Scott (D-Va.) said
that even though Presi-
dent Trump inherited a
growing economy from
President Obama, his
plans to significantly
cut programs that sup-
port long-term econom-
ic prosperity would
only jeopardize those
gains.
Scott also said that,
“Republican efforts to
repeal the Affordable
Care Act and replace
it with a plan that will
cause 24 million Ameri-
cans to lose their health
insurance will only ex-
acerbate the economic
harm that will be inflict-
ed on working families.”
Scott said that he
hoped that the current
president and Congres-
sional
Republicans
would instead work
with Democrats on
solutions to continue
to build on the historic
economic growth that
the nation experienced
under President Obama.

Diversifying Silicon
Valley isn’t the only
item on Williams’ agen-
da. Like a lot of rich ath-
letes, she is interested
in becoming more in-
volved in the business
opportunities amid the
high-tech boom in Sili-
con Valley. She says she
is already exploring
other opportunities in
the area, but isn’t ready
to provide details yet.
Her connection to
SurveyMonkey
came
through her friendship
with Sheryl Sandberg,
Facebook’s chief operat-
ing officer and another
member of SurveyMon-
key’s board. Sandberg’s
husband, Dave Gold-
berg, was SurveyMon-
key’s CEO before he died
in 2015 while the couple
was vacationing in Mex-
ico.
“I have been really
interested in getting in-
volved in Silicon Valley
for years, so I have been
kind of in the wading
waters,” Williams said.
“Now, I am jumping into
the deep end of the pool.
When I do something, I
go all out.”
