Congresswoman Beatty Introduces Bill Demanding Critical Reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) WASHINGTON, D.C. – In light of the ICE activity in Minnesota and Ohio’s Third Congressional District, Congresswoman Beatty is addressing violent ICE activity by introducing the Protecting Our Communit...

It’s clear: ICE, as an institution, is fundamentally broken, and the harm it has caused is already too great. I'm introducing a bill demanding urgent reform - before more people are hurt. 🔗More here: https://bit.ly/3OYVjso

This weekend, I was proud to have been recognized at the Shades of Melanin Awards Gala with the inaugural “Our Voice” Award. Thank you to the Executive Board of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Incorporated, Delta Theta Omega Alumni Chapter, for convening this powerful evening.

Happy Women’s History Month! From Congress, faith communities, local businesses, and more, women have contributed to every corner of our community. As your representative and a proud member of @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, I'm committed to championing policies that put women's well-being first.

Please see my statement below on the recent military strikes against Iran.

It is a privilege to introduce this resolution honoring my lifelong friend and mentor: Lieutenant Colonel Charity Adams-Earley - a trailblazer in every sense of the word. I am proud to partner with Rep. Mike Turner to honor her sacrifice. 🔗More here: https://bit.ly/4l97Sxl

The State of our Union is WEAK under Trump. He started a war on working families by destroying critical programs and letting Republicans gut healthcare. He also refused to apologize for his racist video depicting the Obamas as apes. It's despicable. 🔗Watch the full hit here: https://bit.ly/3OD4rCU

The SAVE America Act: This isn’t election security. It’s voter suppression. Half of Americans don’t have a passport, so Republicans want to charge you $130 just to exercise a constitutional right. Married women will be found ineligible if their documents do not match their new name.

70 million women changed their names when they got married. Under the SAVE America Act, their birth certificate won’t match their ID. So now getting married could cost you your vote. So much for family values Republicans!

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. So if there’s a shutdown, that’s on them. We’re asking for basic accountability: respect the Fourth Amendment, get a warrant before entering someone’s home, protect schools and hospitals, and investigate agents who break the law.

On corruption: A House Judiciary investigation found the Trump family built an $11.6 billion crypto empire that generated more than $800 million in its first year alone.

I chose to not attend Trump’s State of the Union — and here’s why. Ohio families deserve truth, accountability, and leadership that protects their rights and their wallets. Click to watch my full remarks on YouTube. 🎥

Today in 1942, Executive Order 9066 led to the wrongful incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans. A 1982 congressional study found it was driven by “race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership.” We remember and reject today’s fear-driven policies repeating this injustice.

I toured the Mid-Ohio Food Collective’s Eastland Prosperity Center. Opening this fall, this new hub will serve 100K people each year with free fresh food, SNAP enrollment, health care and more at a time when so much is less affordable. Ohio families deserve support that meets the moment.

Ramadan Mubarak! 🌙 As the holy month begins, I wish our Muslim community a time of peace and reflection. Ramadan reminds us of our shared commitment to justice, compassion, and human dignity. May this month bring blessings to you and your loved ones.

I joined Rep. Sanford Bishop and community leaders in Georgia as keynote speaker for the 41st Annual Black History Month Observance Breakfast. Embracing the theme “Your Voice Matters,” I highlighted the importance of voting and fully participating in our democracy now more than ever.

So proud of these Ohio Olympians taking the world stage by storm. From historic firsts to finals appearances and gold medal moments, they’re showing the grit and excellence that define the Buckeye State. 🇺🇸❄️

As Lunar New Year begins, I’m mindful that this is a moment of both reflection and renewal for many. Wishing all who celebrate peace, prosperity, and renewed hope for the year ahead.

Beatty and Brown Lead Letter to HUD Opposing Rollback of Fair Housing Anti-Discrimination Enforcement WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) and Congresswoman Shontel Brown (OH-11) submitted an official public comment letter to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secr...

Housing discrimination is real. Rolling back Fair Housing Act anti-discrimination tools is wrong. Reps. Shontel Brown, Marcy Kaptur, Greg Landsman, and I are calling on HUD to reverse course. We should expand access to homeownership, not lock families out. Read more: https://bit.ly/3MdME4A

My prayers are with my colleague Rep. Jonathan Jackson, Jesse Jackson Jr. and the entire Jackson family as we mourn the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson. His legacy lives on in every fight for justice. Please see my full statement in the link. May he rest in power: https://bit.ly/4tGKfA0

Happy Valentine’s Day, Ohio. In a world where too many voices profit from keeping us divided, let today be a reminder that love, compassion, and empathy are stronger than anything meant to pull us apart.

Please see the following statement in response to recently released Department of Justice documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein and Les Wexner.

I am deeply honored to have received the 2026 Distinguished Community Health Center Advocate Award from the National Association of Community Health Centers. Advocating for equitable health care is work that I carry with purpose every day, on behalf of hardworking Ohioans and all Americans.

Congresswoman Beatty Moves to Break Barriers Blocking Women from Lifesaving Heart Care WASHINGTON, D.C. — This week, Congresswoman Joyce Beatty [D-OH-3], in recognition of American Heart Month, reintroduced the bipartisan Women’s Heart Health Expansion Act to reauthorize and expand acce...

Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in America, yet too many women lack access to lifesaving screenings. That's why, I reintroduced the Women’s Heart Health Expansion Act, investing $250 million in prevention efforts for low income women. 🔗Read more here: https://bit.ly/3M3wCdu
