She will be sorely missed. 0193

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 14/07/2026Everyone deserves access to quality health care. We cannot address our nation’s care shortage without understanding the social determinants of health that impact outcomes. We must stay committed to expanding access for everyone and not restricting it. 3105
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 25/06/2026Today in Education & Workforce Committee, I urged my colleagues to support my amendment to H.R. 5505 so no student is punished for actions they didn’t commit. Accountability belongs with those responsible. Families deserve justice, and we shouldn’t undermine a bipartisan bill that saves lives. 083
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 24/06/2026I remain committed to advancing legislation that protects our children and prevents the next tragedy before it occurs.

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 11/06/2026Hate-fueled violence is rising, from the attacks in Buffalo, San Diego, and Jacksonville to tragedies that have touched my own family. That’s why the Southern Poverty Law Center’s work remains vital, and why confronting extremism is still essential. Every community deserves safety. 077
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 09/06/2026Today, I joined my colleagues to push for common‑sense, evidence‑based tools to stop domestic violence. Red flag laws save lives.

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 05/06/2026On #WearOrangeDay, I hosted a Spotlight Hearing with those who are making our communities safer.

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 21/05/2026Veterans are far more likely to die by firearm suicide than the average American, yet this bill removes safeguards from the background check system with no regard for their safety. I stand with my colleagues against this dangerous change. 0138
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 21/05/2026There is no excuse for paying someone below minimum wage just because of a disability. Job seekers with disabilities deserve real pathways to independence, employment, and fair wages for their work. This issue is personal to me. Equal work should earn equal pay. 0168
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 15/05/2026We continue to reflect on the life and legacy of Rep. David Scott.

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 17/04/2026This Black Maternal Health Week, we continue to raise awareness of the crisis facing mothers and babies.

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 17/04/2026Secretary RFK Jr. has spent more time regulating fluoride than addressing the gun violence epidemic.

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 26/03/2026March 26 is Equal Pay Day, the point in 2026 when women finally catch up to what men earned in 2025. For the second straight year, the pay gap has widened. Women working full-time earn just 81 cents for every dollar men earn and even less for many women of color. 393

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 17/02/2026Today we mourn the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson, a servant leader whose movement and voice called our nation to its highest ideals.

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 12/02/2026You're right @chrislhayes.bsky.social—Pam Bondi refused to apologize for mocking civilians murdered by those she represents. It was a shameful display. youtu.be/5kHOFtZq7JQ 0144
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 12/02/2026From @ajc.com: McBath recalls her son’s death while pressing Bondi on immigration shootings www.ajc.com/politics/202... 0122
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 12/02/2026Too often in cases of mass violence, someone had prior knowledge of the shooter’s plan. Extreme risk protection orders are already saving lives in 22 states. I'm introducing a bill to give all Americans access to these tools. youtu.be/gc_ffkhBfLw?... 0145
