So glad I got to say hi to elected officials from Westminster and Boulder when they stopped by my office to discuss the work we’re doing to support our communities—from building resilient infrastructure to transportation.
Grateful for their partnership and commitment to Colorado families.
Sam and I just wrapped up a busy week here in DC. We voted against Donald Trump and Republicans’ budget proposal to strip health care away from over a million Coloradans who depend on @healthfirstcolorado.com.
I voted NO. We’re going to keep showing up and fighting back.
I’m deeply concerned about the people in my district who are going to be hurt by the cuts coming our way.
I want you to know I’m going to do everything I can to support you and fight for you.
As a mom, I can’t imagine not being able to provide health care for your kids or put food on the table.
And today Republicans are ripping away health care from kids and families who need it — all to give millionaires and billionaires a tax break.
Look who Sam and I ran into at the Capitol!
Grateful I get to see my friend and mentor Ed Perlmutter in the district and in Washington. He’s still busy fighting the good fight.
Attention Conifer 🔔
My team is holding office hours in Conifer next Wednesday, April 16th from 3pm-5pm!
Stop by to get one-on-one help from my staff with passports, the IRS, veterans benefits, Medicare and Social Security, immigration, and more.
RSVP: pettersen.house.gov/events/event...
Billionaires may be able to weather the storm of Trump’s tariffs but it’s working families and regular people who will be hit the hardest.
We need a check on Trump’s agenda—our small businesses and the people who elected us are depending on it.
The Republican plan to slash Medicaid won’t just cost lives — it will also cut thousands of jobs in CO.
Hospitals will be strained. Pregnant women will lose care. Kids and seniors will go without the treatment they need to survive.
All to give more tax breaks to the people who need it the least.
The majority of the Members of the House supported making Congress more accessible to young families & more reflective of the American people.
But Speaker Johnson pulled out all the stops & killed our petition to allow new parents to vote remotely.
I’m disappointed — but this fight is not over.
While Republican Leadership might be out of touch on this issue, I’m deeply grateful for the outpouring of support from my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and young women and moms across the nation.
Our fight is far from over.
I just finished speaking on the House floor about Speaker Johnson's recent move to kill our bipartisan push to allow new parents to vote remotely. This move is anti-women, anti-parent, and anti-family.
Our country has changed. But Congress is stuck doing things the way we did them centuries ago.
Reposted byU.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen
UPDATE: Speaker Johnson's "deal" isn't good enough, so @pettersen.house.gov and I are motioning to discharge our proxy voting resolution to the floor TODAY. New parents should be allowed to vote. Stay tuned.
Today, I'm demanding that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. immediately halt the proposed dismantling of the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration.
Without SAMHSA, people like my mom may never get the care they need to recover. We should build on our progress, not go backwards.
I am extremely thankful for the outpouring of love and support from women and moms across the nation. I know you are just as disappointed as I am about this outcome, but our fight is far from over.
I promise I won’t stop working on behalf of moms, our families, and most importantly our kids.
I am deeply grateful for Rep Anna Paulina Luna for championing the changes needed to ensure that moms and dads who are welcoming a new child are able to represent their constituents.
But the reality is — this outcome does not address the barriers we’ve fought so hard to overcome.
We don't know what's going to happen this week, but we do know that Speaker Johnson is pulling out all the stops to try and silence our voices.
There are so many moving parts right now but I'll keep you updated as another wild week approaches.
I was honored to be invited to talk to @jenpsaki.msnbc.com — a total badass & mom of two — about why our fight to ensure new parents can represent their constituents matters, not just for addressing the challenges Members face, but for transforming the voices & representation in Congress long-term.
Congress wasn’t designed for people like me and it’s long overdue to change the way things are done.
I joined @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social this week to discuss our fight to change the rules of the House to allow new parents to vote remotely after welcoming a new child.
I sat down with @nprnews.bsky.social station @wbur.org to discuss my fight to change the outdated rules that force parents like me to make an impossible decision.
It doesn’t have to be this way and there’s an obvious solution. Let’s let parents have a voice in Congress
