Hey, Sarah McBride said I
could reach out with some news:
This week, Speaker Mike Johnson held a vote on the House floor to kill my
resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely while raising
their newborn children. But it failed. Mike Johnson lost, and common sense
won.
Nine Republicans joined every Democrat in Congress to send a clear message
to Mike Johnson and House GOP leadership: The status quo is not
acceptable.
It’s not acceptable that people from middle-class families, and especially
young women, have been deterred from running for Congress. It’s not
acceptable that Congress has been dominated by the interests of older,
wealthy men. And it’s not acceptable that Mike Johnson tried a desperate,
last-second procedural gimmick to silence our voices.
Over the last three months, I went toe-to-toe with the Speaker of the
House and all the power he wields. And together, we showed Mike Johnson
that nobody fights harder than a mom.
But this fight isn’t done. Next up is officially passing this resolution
and making sure Congress actually reflects the people we serve. Mike
Johnson will fight until the bitter end to prevent us from modernizing
Congress, so I need your support more than ever before.
