U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 5(source)

There’s so much that goes into being a mom — it’s a 24/7 job, especially with a newborn. Deciding to come to Washington with my baby, Sam, during one of the most vulnerable times in his life, was an incredibly difficult decision. But my constituents deserve a voice.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 4(source)

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that Congress is working well. Part of the reason is that the people there don’t reflect the life experiences of the American people. That's why it’s so important to make it easier for women and families to have a voice in Washington.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 4(source)

Thank you, @kylec.bsky.social for highlighting how I’m standing up for moms and dads in Congress. There are few things Donald Trump and I agree on. But his support for proxy voting is yet another example of how broad the support is for this obvious fix. Speaker Johnson needs to come to the table.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 4(source)

Get ready for much bigger price tags on all our necessities and remember who is responsible.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 3(source)

These tariffs will be devastating for our economy, our businesses, and our standing in the world. The stock market has already started to plummet, and we are all bracing for what’s next. He is unhinged. He is reckless. And we will not forget who is single-handedly responsible for the consequences.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 3(source)

While families are already struggling to make ends meet, Trump’s tariffs will be the greatest tax increase on Americans since WWII. The cost of housing, cars, gas, and groceries will be going up. Trump promised to focus on reducing costs on day one, but his actions have done the opposite.

Live updates: Trump’s new tariffs lead to the biggest Dow wipeout since 2020

Sweeping global "reciprocal" tariffs announced by President Donald Trump provoked dismay, threats of countermeasures and urgent calls for negotiations.

This week's episode of "The Fly-In" is joined by two guests–Rep. Brittany Pettersen and her 9-week-old son, Sam. Tune in later today to hear how her bill to allow new parents to proxy vote broke Speaker Johnson's extreme agenda for the week.

American families deserve leaders who understand the struggles parents face. That’s why @pettersen.house.gov is fighting to make Congress more accessible to parents and families through her bipartisan resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely after their child is born.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 2(source)

I joined @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social this morning to talk about our bipartisan effort to stop Speaker Johnson from killing our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely. Our message is simple: Let us vote.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 2(source)

Our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely is meeting historic resistance—Speaker Johnson literally shut down the House to avoid a vote. But we have a message for Johnson: we aren’t backing down until we get this done. Let us vote.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 1(source)

Today, my son Sam and I showed Speaker Johnson why you don't mess with moms. Thanks to overwhelming bipartisan support, we stopped the Speaker’s attempt to kill our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely. Thank you to everyone who stood with us today.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 1(source)

I’m grateful to everyone who stood with us. Your support sends a clear message: making Congress more accessible to new parents brings us one step closer to a government that truly reflects the people it serves. Next up is finally passing our resolution.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 1(source)

Today, Speaker Johnson tried to block our bipartisan resolution to allow new moms and dads to vote remotely while caring for their newborns—but we refused to let him silence our voices.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 1(source)

I just finished speaking on the House floor with Sam to ask my colleagues to vote no on Speaker Johnson’s attempt to block our bipartisan resolution that would allow new parents to vote remotely. What Speaker Johnson is pushing today is anti-woman, anti-parent, & anti-family.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govMar 31(source)

New parents shouldn’t be blocked from doing their jobs just because they’re starting a family. We’re going to keep fighting until we get this done.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govMar 31(source)

I’m back in DC with Sam to demand that Speaker Johnson hold a vote on our bipartisan resolution to allow new moms and dads to vote remotely while caring for their newborns. Speaker Johnson himself has voted remotely 39 times—but now he’s pulling every trick in the book to stop our resolution.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govMar 31(source)

Over 1,800 Coloradans showed up in Lakewood because they are deeply concerned about the direction of our country & want to know they have someone fighting for them in Washington. We may not be in power, but we're not powerless. We're fighting back by showing up, speaking out, & sharing our stories.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govMar 28(source)

Speaker Johnson is trying to block a vote on our resolution to allow new parents to vote remotely while they care for their newborns. No one should have to go through what I did—flying across the country with a newborn to vote. We’re not going to stop fighting until we change these outdated rules.

GOP leaders accused of making threats to block bill to let new moms vote remotely

Lawmakers from both parties teamed up to force a House vote on a measure allowing new parents to vote by proxy for 12 weeks, but House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes it on Constitutional grounds.

Elon Musk is now suggesting they will be going after Social Security next. This would bring catastrophic consequences for seniors across the US who rely on these benefits to keep a roof over their heads and food on their tables. We won’t back down in our fight to ensure our seniors are protected.

Musk eyes Social Security and benefit programs for cuts while claiming widespread fraud

Elon Musk says Social Security and other federal benefit programs will be targeted in his hunt for fraudulent spending.
