Hundreds of thousands of people rely on IVF during their pregnancy journey and my resolution, with Rep. Mayes and Rep. Malagari, which passed the #PaHouse would dignify July 25th as World IVF Day! I’m proud to be adding to that number in just a few months! youtu.be/BMYt6b-UezE
I’m proud to report the bill passed out of committee and now heads to the full House for consideration. youtu.be/-gZBwijplWo
Yesterday, one of my male colleagues said I didn’t have the “experience” to pass my Equal Pay bill with Rep. Melissa Shusterman out of the Labor & Industry committee. I corrected the record and shared why I will always fight for women and working families across Pennsylvania.
As someone raised by a single mother, I can only imagine what that additional $10,000 would have meant for our family. This is not a reality that we should be living in the year 2025. youtu.be/QPBZwIp4CdE
Today we observe Equal Pay Day, a reminder that women still face a significant pay gap compared to their male counterparts. On average, mothers are only bringing home $.73 for every dollar a father earns and that discrepancy translates to women missing out on an average of $10,000 every year.
No one should have to make the choice between their job and recovery from surgery, caring for a loved one, or being with their newborns right after giving birth. Everyone deserves access to paid family & medical leave. Time to step up and make this happen! youtu.be/MQuW4oqhQgs
Growing up, I learned the hard way that our government doesn’t do enough to support working families. That is why I am proud to support the bipartisan Family Care Act. Providing paid leave to Pennsylvanians supports PA families, workers & businesses. youtu.be/BgmfO9fO1z4
