Experts know exactly what we need to do to solve our country’s maternal health crisis and save moms’ lives, and these tools are within reach. The #Momnibus is the solution, and I’m proud to introduce this legislation with @RepAdams and @SenBooker.

218 House Republicans voted to strip health care from 17 million Americans to pay for a tax break for the wealthiest 1% of Americans.

Every day my office helps constituents navigate federal agencies & get answers. We’ve helped thousands of our neighbors recover their benefits, solve problems with Medicare, expedite passport requests, and so much more. If you’ve received help from my office, I want to hear from.

Republicans in Congress have done nothing to stop inflation or lower costs. Nothing to help families. Nothing to make housing more affordable or transit more reliable.

Rent prices are through the roof and buying a home feels more out of reach than ever. Working families are paying more and waiting longer to get to and from work every day. Republicans’ solution? Cutting a billion dollars from housing programs and slashing transportation

Republicans just passed the largest cut to health care in American history and now hundreds of rural hospitals are projected to close. My bipartisan bill, the Prioritizing Rural Hospitals Act, would prioritize funding for rural health care facilities to help stop this from.

Congress controls the power of the purse. The Trump Administration is once again illegally withholding funds that Congress already passed into law and our kids are paying the price.

My bipartisan Baby Changing on Board Act has passed the House and is full steam ahead to the Senate! 🚂❤️. We’re making sure every new Amtrak train has a baby changing station in at least one restroom per car.

No one should be priced out of the treatment and health care that can help them have a baby. My bill, The Health Coverage for IVF Act, makes sure that families are able to access this essential care.

I offered a simple amendment that wouldn’t cost a cent: Let’s make sure new moms who work for us in Congress are guaranteed breaks to pump. Every single Republican voted no.
