WASHINGTON ­– Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) joined Representatives Ruben Gallego (AZ-07), Brenda Lawrence (MI-14), Jamie Raskin (MD-08), and Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) in calling for the resignation of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price after it was reported that he wasted taxpayer money by taking needlessly expensive private jets.
