11/30/2022 Tweet - "A national rail shutdown right before the holidays would devastate our economy, harm hardworking Americans, and put undue stress on U.S. businesses. Today, @HouseDemocrats did our part to avert this shutdown and ensure railroad workers get much-needed paid sick leave."
09/18/2022 Tweet - "Today, as we recognize International Equal Pay Day, we are reminded that women all over the world still earn less than men doing the same work. Let's honor the tireless efforts so many women have made to raise awareness about unequal pay and close the gender pay gap."
07/27/2022 Tweet - "From creating better paying jobs to lowering costs for families, Democrats are fighting to put #PeopleOverPolitics and build an America that works for everyone--not just those at the top."
05/10/2022 Tweet - "House Democrats have long supported American workers' right to organize and collectively bargain. The hardworking and dedicated staff that work in Congress are no exception. I applaud today's passage of legislation that paves the way for their voices to be heard."
01/07/2022 Tweet - "This month's jobs report, with a new pandemic-low unemployment rate and over 199,000 jobs added, is proof @POTUS is setting our economy back on track. Still, working families need our help. We ought to pass #BuildBackBetter and build on our progress."
11/12/2021 Tweet - "New unemployment claims have fallen 6 straight weeks, claims are down 70% under @POTUS & job losses are at a pandemic low."
11/05/2021 Tweet - "A new Moody's report projects @POTUS ' #BuildBackBetter agenda will result in 2.4 million more jobs in 2025 & a nearly $3 trillion increase in total GDP over 10 years. It will also "ease inflationary pressures." That's what #BuildingBackBetter looks like."
09/06/2021 Tweet - "The pandemic has proven how critical the contributions of essential and frontline workers are to the success of our nation. As we continue to battle the pandemic this #LaborDay and beyond, we must remain committed to the fight for workers' rights."
08/19/2021 Tweet - "Today's Department of Labor report that initial unemployment claims are at the lowest level since March 2020 is undeniable proof the American Rescue Plan is working. We must build on this progress by passing infrastructure and reconciliation bills to #BuildBackBetter."

07/24/2021 Tweet - "It has been more than a decade since the last minimum wage increase in 2009. No one can live on $7.25 an hour in today's economy. We ought to build an economy that respects and rewards the dignity of work. #RaiseTheWage"

06/10/2021 Tweet - "On this day 58 years ago, President Kennedy signed the #EqualPayAct to combat pay discrimination against women. Yet, significant gender pay disparities persist. Senate Republicans ought to lift their objections to the House-passed #PaycheckFairnessAct and help enact pay equity."
06/04/2021 Tweet - "Today's jobs report is proof that the Democrats' economic recovery plan is working. Americans are getting vaccinated, the economy is reopening, and, under the leadership of President Biden, unemployment is at the lowest rate since the pandemic began. #BuildBackBetter"
05/25/2021 Tweet - "Cutting off pandemic unemployment benefits early will hurt rural communities, and won't help people get back to work. People want to work, but they need job offers with fair pay, transportation to get there, and childcare to be available."
04/28/2021 Tweet - "President Biden has been focused on delivering relief to Americans since his first day in office. He's put shots in arms, money in pockets, gotten Americans back to work & kids back in the classroom. His leadership is helping this country heal. #JointSession"
