On Labor Day, we honor the achievements of American workers. From securing safer working conditions to establishing the 40-hour work week, union workers have built a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous nation. Today and every day, we celebrate the workers who continue to power our progress.

Every child deserves to learn and grow free from fear. Please see my statement on the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School earlier today.

I proudly joined Rep. Smith and Rep. Bonamici to reintroduce a bill that increases funding and expands service coordinator programs. These programs are essential to providing Ohio families with critical social services like health care and food. 🔗Read more at the link here: bit.ly/4mXIXwt

Here's what repealing clean energy means: a $400 INCREASE in YOUR energy bills! ❌ The Republican economy agenda only makes the cost of living more expensive for working Americans. And Democrats aren't standing for it.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialAug 20(source)

This week, we celebrate the 105th anniversary of the 19th Amendment being ratified, giving women the right to vote, a major milestone in the ongoing fight for voting rights. As we continue the fight for voting rights for all, I'm thinking of the activists that came before us that led the fight.

The Republican Rate Hike is hidden in the so-called "One Big Beautiful Act" But there's nothing beautiful about a 50% hike in electricity prices for Ohioans! The Republican Rate Hike — needs to take a hike!

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialAug 17(source)

I am disappointed that Governor DeWine has chosen to send Ohio National Guard troops to support Trump’s militarization efforts in D.C. The men and women of Ohio’s National Guard signed up to serve their country, not a lawless President who repeatedly ignores our nation’s constitution and principles.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialAug 14(source)

After our Social Security forum on Monday, I spoke to the press about the urgency of the issues our seniors communicated to me regarding their earned benefits. Democrats built Social Security and have defended it against decades of attacks. We won't stop now. 🔗Full video?: youtu.be/wAhuxiRx2A0?...

Today marks the 90th anniversary of when Social Security was signed into law — a promise we made to America’s seniors that they could retire with dignity. Want to know why Social Security matters? Hear from our panelists at Monday’s forum as they share why it matters.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialAug 14(source)

90 years ago today America made a promise: after a lifetime of work, no one should fall into poverty in old age. Today, 2.5M Ohioans rely on Social Security. Over $49.8B flows into Ohio annually, supporting seniors, families, and local businesses with real economic impact. We must keep this promise.

Earlier this week, Columbus seniors shared concerns that service delays and staffing cuts at the Social Security Administration are effectively cutting their benefits. This is a critical conversation with consequences for millions nationwide. Read more here: www.dispatch.com/story/news/p...

Joyce Beatty meets with 'frustrated' seniors ahead of Social Security anniversary

Joyce Beatty is highlighting what she calls threats to Social Security benefits for seniors ahead of the program's 90th anniversary.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialAug 13(source)

ICYMI: This week, I held a roundtable in Columbus to celebrate our veterans, and hear their stories. My commitment to them was clear: to take their stories back to Washington, and fight to strengthen their benefits.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialAug 9(source)

Three years ago today, the CHIPS & Science Act became law. I authored a provision to ensure underserved communities benefit. We’ve boosted U.S. manufacturing, created jobs, and strengthened national security—building a strong foundation for the continued work ahead.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialAug 8(source)

Mourning the loss of my dear friend Sam Gresham Jr. — a trailblazer for justice, voting rights and Black communities. From the Urban League to Common Cause Ohio, his leadership opened doors for generations. We’ll honor his legacy by continuing the fight he championed. Please see my statement.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialAug 8(source)

Trump’s VA union contract termination hurts workers and veterans alike. Both deserve better. Please see my statement here:

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialAug 7(source)

Remembering and honoring the brave service members who were wounded or made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Their courage reminds us of the true cost of freedom. Thank you to all Purple Heart recipients and their families for their service and sacrifice.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialAug 7(source)

Today, on the 60th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, I'm calling on Congress, again, to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act to ensure access to the ballot box for all. Because the fight for voting rights didn't end in 1965. It continues, with us.
