Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 03/09/2026Rebranding discrimination bans to attack diversity efforts isn't justice or equality, it's erasure. We refuse to let anyone erase American history. 032
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 03/09/2026For generations, people of color fought for the right to walk through doors that used to be closed. The Supreme Court struck down segregation in the classroom. Now the Trump Admin wants to call that fight "discrimination" and use it to roll back the very progress we made. 175

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 28/08/2026I remember being there with my family, who were active in the civil rights movement and taught me to participate in the fight for justice. Today, as attacks on voting and civil rights grow, it’s more important than ever to stay committed to protecting access and equality for all. 082

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 25/08/2026Dolly Parton embodied the spirit of our country and the best in all of us.

She will be sorely missed. 0193
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 15/08/2026I am praying for those students affected by this senseless act. VSU Trojans are strong and mighty. We will get through this together. I remain committed as ever to keeping all Americans safe. 052

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 14/07/2026Everyone deserves access to quality health care.

Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 29/06/2026Our nation's independent regulators need to be shielded from political attacks, and we must remain vigilant against further abuses of power by this administration. 021
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 29/06/2026I am grateful that the Supreme Court reaffirmed the independence of our Federal Reserve Board. Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook earned her seat through decades of expertise and leadership. 371
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 25/06/2026The Supreme Court struck down a state law requiring permission to carry guns in private spaces like stores, restaurants, and hotels. This sets a dangerous standard that threatens public safety. The American people deserve better. 2228
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 · 11/06/2026Families shouldn’t be forced into impossible choices because of underfunded classrooms. We must support our schools and ensure every student, including those with disabilities so they can thrive. 084
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 · 05/06/2026Since 2022, fewer people have been killed from gun violence and murders are down. The reality is that crime prevention works. But, the Trump Administration abruptly terminated more than 300 public safety grants in 37 states. That’s why Democrats support evidence-based approaches to combat crime. 054
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 · 29/05/2026Know that I am taking your concerns—and your aspirations—back to Washington. 131
Rep. Lucy McBath @mcbath.house.gov · 29/05/2026After a lifetime of hard work, every American deserves the dignity of a secure retirement.

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 · 20/05/2026I’m a child of the Civil Rights Movement, and I know what attacks on voting rights and Black representation look like. We’ve seen this before. Efforts to silence Black voices and weaken voting protections are a direct attack on our democracy and our hard-fought progress. youtu.be/IzCe_Rq9XgA?...youtu.beRanking Member McBath Speaks Out Against Attacks on Voting RightsYouTube video by Rep.
