It was a pleasure to join Columbus elected officials to celebrate Ohio's veterans at Councilwoman Nancy Day Aucher's 2nd Annual Veterans Award Dinner. Thank you, for your partnership in ensuring Columbus is a city where veterans are appreciated and given the resources to thrive.

Six weeks into the shutdown, some still ask why Democrats continue to stand firmly to protect your health care. My fall Beatty Bulletin takes you behind the scenes of that work and more—before and during the shutdown. Read it here: https://bit.ly/43fDxWd

I was proud to join the Columbus Urban League for their 50th Annual Empowerment Day: Driving Economic Impact through Access and Opportunity. Thank you, Columbus Urban League, for 50 years of helping families thrive, entrepreneurs grow, and job seekers succeed. Here’s to the next 50!

Times are tough, and the Trump Administration has chosen not to fund November SNAP benefits. Ohioans shouldn’t go hungry in the richest country in the world. Columbus and Franklin County residents can find help here ⤵️ 🔗CITY Resources: https://bit.ly/4oKIKO0 🔗COUNTY Resources: bit.ly/CTYHELP

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialNov 4(source)

Thanks to Republicans, Head Start — a CRITICAL lifeline for children and families throughout Ohio — has lost vital funding throughout the shutdown. Here's the hard truth of how it's affecting Franklin County. It's time Republicans put American families FIRST and reopen the government.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialNov 4(source)

Thanks to Republicans, health insurance premiums in the Affordable Care Act marketplace are rising across the country. Ohioans, check out the link here to see how much your premiums have increased: https://bit.ly/4887D1b

Honoring the life and legacy of Les Wright, the first Black woman to serve on Columbus City Council. Her courage and leadership opened doors for generations of women and Black leaders, including myself. So grateful for the path she blazed. May she rest in power.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialNov 3(source)

Federal courts have made it clear: Americans deserve their full SNAP benefits. The Trump Administration must release all funds and end the govt. shutdown he's leading —because we all know nothing moves in the Republican Congress without Trump. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4nzHXys

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialNov 3(source)

The Trump admin is weaponizing hunger by blocking funds for SNAP. Federal courts have ordered Trump to pay Americans their SNAP benefits — it's time for him to follow the law, and give Ohioans the benefits they need. To families struggling, please reach out to your local food bank for support.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialNov 1(source)

The Trump Administration has the power to protect SNAP—but refuses to act. As Thanksgiving nears, over 40 million Americans risk going hungry. I joined 213 of my Democratic colleagues in calling on Agriculture Secretary Rollins to release the resources families need now.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 31(source)

Tomorrow, funding for Head Start and SNAP will lapse in Ohio - critical lifelines that strengthen children, families, and entire communities. All because Republicans have failed to act. I'm working to get Ohioans the benefits they need. 🔗Read more here: https://bit.ly/48SROvH

The scariest thing this Halloween isn’t ghosts—it’s Trump’s economy. Candy and other costs keep climbing, and families are paying the price. Trick or treat? Under Trump, it’s just the trick. 🍫👻

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 31(source)

Standing outside the USDA with Shutdown Straight Talk. Republicans are holding 42M Americans—including 1.4M in Ohio—hostage by refusing to fund SNAP benefits during their government shutdown. Release the $5B and protect SNAP!

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 29(source)

1.4 million Ohioans rely on SNAP - that's not a game. But Republicans think it is. The message is clear and simple. To Secretary Rollins and Republicans: release the SNAP funds, now.

It was a pleasure to speak at Robinhood's Financial Education Opening Event, to talk about the importance of financial literacy for student athletes and next-gen leaders. As Co-chair of the Financial Literacy Caucus, I will always support initiatives that empower young people with tools for success.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 27(source)

Democrats are using every tool in our wheelhouse to reach young people about the Republican health care coverage crisis — because when health care is involved, EVERYONE is affected. Miss the town hall? 🔗Check out the link here to watch the full thing: http://bit.ly/4nd2FE1

Fighting for equality has always been personal to me. To the LGBTQ+ community — I continue to fight for you and stand with you. Thank you, Art for Life Columbus and Equitas Health, for putting together this fantastic event that empowers our LGBTQ+ family, and fights to end HIV / AIDS.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 27(source)

Honored to serve as Honorary Chair for Equitas Health's 2025 Art for Life —Ohio’s largest charity art auction supporting the fight to end HIV/AIDS. Thank you, @equitas-health.bsky.social, for the incredible work you do for this important mission.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 24(source)

Republicans' lack of action is hurting our public servants and federal employees — that's countless American families that are affected. Democrats will continue to uphold the rule of law, honor our public servants, and advocate for affordable care and benefits.
