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.

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.
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.
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.
New parents shouldn’t be blocked from doing their jobs just because they’re starting a family.
We’re going to keep fighting until we get this done.
I’m back in DC with Sam to demand that Speaker Johnson hold a vote on our bipartisan resolution to allow new moms and dads to vote remotely while caring for their newborns.
Speaker Johnson himself has voted remotely 39 times—but now he’s pulling every trick in the book to stop our resolution.
Over 1,800 Coloradans showed up in Lakewood because they are deeply concerned about the direction of our country & want to know they have someone fighting for them in Washington.
We may not be in power, but we're not powerless. We're fighting back by showing up, speaking out, & sharing our stories.
Speaker Johnson is trying to block a vote on our resolution to allow new parents to vote remotely while they care for their newborns.
No one should have to go through what I did—flying across the country with a newborn to vote.
We’re not going to stop fighting until we change these outdated rules.
Elon Musk is now suggesting they will be going after Social Security next. This would bring catastrophic consequences for seniors across the US who rely on these benefits to keep a roof over their heads and food on their tables.
We won’t back down in our fight to ensure our seniors are protected.
I’m proud to be one of the moms in Congress who are changing the way we do things despite Republican leadership opposition.
We now have enough support to force a vote to make Congress more accessible for young families and regular people.
10-year-old Quinn is fighting a rare and aggressive cancer. Her life depends on Medicaid.
The Republican proposal to cut Medicaid puts real families, real children, and real lives at risk.
We must protect Medicaid—because families like Quinn's are counting on it.
I have a message for Donald Trump: nobody fights harder than a mom.
Republican leadership may have denied my ability to vote by proxy, but that didn’t stop us from voting against their disastrous budget proposal.
I’ll never back down when it comes to our kids.
I’m where I am today because I had access to great public schools. Now, Trump is ripping that opportunity away from thousands of kids.
He’s taking resources from our schools to fund tax breaks for billionaires. We won’t let this stand.
Grateful to see the thousands of Palestinians who are demanding an end to Hamas and an end to the war.
I am only the 14th Member to give birth while serving in Congress. It's clear Congress wasn’t designed with young families and parents in mind.
Remote voting for new parents is a critical step to modernizing Congress and making it more inclusive.
A shocking breach of trust, even by the standards of this Administration.
Sharing classified info in an unsecured group chat risked the lives of our service members, and we only know because they messed up and included a journalist in the group.
There must be accountability for those responsible.
Today is Equal Pay Day—a reminder that, on average, women must work nearly three extra months to earn what men made last year for doing the same job.
We took action in Colorado by passing the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act. Now it’s time to ensure equal pay is the law across the country.
Team Pettersen was thrilled to celebrate Broomfield’s amazing businesses and entrepreneurs at the Broomfield Chamber's Business Excellence Awards.
Congratulations to all who were recognized for their leadership, impact, and innovation. You help make Broomfield the wonderful community that it is.

With tariffs and their damaging effect on Americans top of mind for so many, I am glad to reintroduce the Pink Tariffs Study Act with @reppettersen.bsky.social to examine why women and working families pay so much more for products.

Since Trump took office, our federal workforce has been under constant attack.
I'm grateful that a federal judge has ordered the reinstatement of employees who were recklessly fired. This fight isn’t over—Trump & Musk won’t stop their assault on our federal government. We need to keep pushing back.
