U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 7(source)

I am deeply grateful for Rep Anna Paulina Luna for championing the changes needed to ensure that moms and dads who are welcoming a new child are able to represent their constituents. But the reality is — this outcome does not address the barriers we’ve fought so hard to overcome.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 6(source)

We don't know what's going to happen this week, but we do know that Speaker Johnson is pulling out all the stops to try and silence our voices. There are so many moving parts right now but I'll keep you updated as another wild week approaches.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 6(source)

I was honored to be invited to talk to @jenpsaki.msnbc.com — a total badass & mom of two — about why our fight to ensure new parents can represent their constituents matters, not just for addressing the challenges Members face, but for transforming the voices & representation in Congress long-term.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 5(source)

Congress wasn’t designed for people like me and it’s long overdue to change the way things are done. I joined @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social this week to discuss our fight to change the rules of the House to allow new parents to vote remotely after welcoming a new child.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 5(source)

I sat down with @nprnews.bsky.social station @wbur.org to discuss my fight to change the outdated rules that force parents like me to make an impossible decision. It doesn’t have to be this way and there’s an obvious solution. Let’s let parents have a voice in Congress

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 5(source)

There’s so much that goes into being a mom — it’s a 24/7 job, especially with a newborn. Deciding to come to Washington with my baby, Sam, during one of the most vulnerable times in his life, was an incredibly difficult decision. But my constituents deserve a voice.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 4(source)

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that Congress is working well. Part of the reason is that the people there don’t reflect the life experiences of the American people. That's why it’s so important to make it easier for women and families to have a voice in Washington.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 4(source)

Thank you, @kylec.bsky.social for highlighting how I’m standing up for moms and dads in Congress. There are few things Donald Trump and I agree on. But his support for proxy voting is yet another example of how broad the support is for this obvious fix. Speaker Johnson needs to come to the table.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 4(source)

Get ready for much bigger price tags on all our necessities and remember who is responsible.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 3(source)

These tariffs will be devastating for our economy, our businesses, and our standing in the world. The stock market has already started to plummet, and we are all bracing for what’s next. He is unhinged. He is reckless. And we will not forget who is single-handedly responsible for the consequences.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 3(source)

While families are already struggling to make ends meet, Trump’s tariffs will be the greatest tax increase on Americans since WWII. The cost of housing, cars, gas, and groceries will be going up. Trump promised to focus on reducing costs on day one, but his actions have done the opposite.

Live updates: Trump’s new tariffs lead to the biggest Dow wipeout since 2020

Sweeping global "reciprocal" tariffs announced by President Donald Trump provoked dismay, threats of countermeasures and urgent calls for negotiations.

This week's episode of "The Fly-In" is joined by two guests–Rep. Brittany Pettersen and her 9-week-old son, Sam. Tune in later today to hear how her bill to allow new parents to proxy vote broke Speaker Johnson's extreme agenda for the week.

House Democrats@housedemocrats.bsky.socialApr 2(source)

American families deserve leaders who understand the struggles parents face. That’s why @pettersen.house.gov is fighting to make Congress more accessible to parents and families through her bipartisan resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely after their child is born.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 2(source)

I joined @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social this morning to talk about our bipartisan effort to stop Speaker Johnson from killing our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely. Our message is simple: Let us vote.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 2(source)

Our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely is meeting historic resistance—Speaker Johnson literally shut down the House to avoid a vote. But we have a message for Johnson: we aren’t backing down until we get this done. Let us vote.

House speaker fails to squash Colorado mom's bill to help new parents in Congress

With her son in her arms, Colorado Rep. Brittany Pettersen stood on the House floor and pleaded with colleagues to turn back the GOP leadership.

'Incredibly frustrating': House Dem slams rule she says is stacked against new parents www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvA2...

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 1(source)

Today, my son Sam and I showed Speaker Johnson why you don't mess with moms. Thanks to overwhelming bipartisan support, we stopped the Speaker’s attempt to kill our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely. Thank you to everyone who stood with us today.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 1(source)

I’m grateful to everyone who stood with us. Your support sends a clear message: making Congress more accessible to new parents brings us one step closer to a government that truly reflects the people it serves. Next up is finally passing our resolution.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 1(source)

Today, Speaker Johnson tried to block our bipartisan resolution to allow new moms and dads to vote remotely while caring for their newborns—but we refused to let him silence our voices.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen@pettersen.house.govApr 1(source)

I just finished speaking on the House floor with Sam to ask my colleagues to vote no on Speaker Johnson’s attempt to block our bipartisan resolution that would allow new parents to vote remotely. What Speaker Johnson is pushing today is anti-woman, anti-parent, & anti-family.
