Black women are nearly three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. And the vast majority of those deaths are preventable.
Speaker McClinton and the Pennsylvania Black Maternal Health Caucus are fighting to change that by advancing legislation to expand access to pregnancy care, confront systemic racism in our healthcare system, and make sure moms have the support they need.
Joanna McClinton serves as the Speaker of the Pennsylvania State House, while proudly serving the 191st district.
Joanna has made important strides to enact progress in the Pennsylvania Legislature. From working to protect the rights of those accused in our criminal justice system to spearheading the fight to expand our voting rights, she has proven that she will always prioritize the prosperity of Pennsylvanians over the promise of power.
