Rep. Summer Lee

Rep. Summer Lee: If Republicans truly cared about the American people, they’d fight to make the wealthy pay their fair share, invest in clean energy jobs, raise wages and protect health care. triblive.com/opinion/rep-su…

Republicans are lying about Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill now signed into law. At best, their statements are misleading; at worst, they are outright lies. Let's correct the record in my latest op-ed. triblive.com/opinion/rep-su…

Childcare—if folks can even find it—is keeping and pushing families into poverty. That’s why I reintroduced the Child Care for Working Families Act with @BobbyScott. Strong communities start with affordable care for families and liveable wages for caretakers.

This should not be the norm in a democracy. The people deserve the truth!

“I think the American people are against what you're seeing in Gaza,” said @RepSummerLee after meeting Khalil, “We're kind of all going up against the same system and the same machine.”

I had a productive meeting with Mahmoud Khalil today who was illegally detained by the Trump admin. Students continue to be wrongfully disciplined for exercising their First Amendment rights and protesting a taxpayer-funded genocide in Gaza. Our institutions shouldn’t fuel an…

Our laws have never been neutral. The U.S. Code has written out and marginalized people—and not by accident. That’s why I reintroduced the Equality in Laws Act to enshrine gender equality once and for all. Inclusion must be intentional, and our laws must reflect everyone.

When Members of Congress are assaulted and arrested for conducting oversight, you’re seeing unchecked executive power try to bypass the law. Proud to introduce the Congressional Oversight Access Act with @RepMaxwellFrost and @RepDeliaRamirez to protect lawmakers from violence…

Trump is defunding public broadcasting because he doesn’t want people to ask questions, demand justice, or think critically. All part of his authoritarian playbook to silence and control the masses. A democracy needs strong, independent media—which I will continue to support.

@RepSummerLee breaks down the newly reintroduced Child Care for Working Families Act by Sen. @PattyMurray and Rep. @BobbyScott - Learn more about how this proposal invests in the sector by lowering costs, boosting supply, & supporting the workforce: americanprogress.org/article/fact-s…

Huge thanks to @PattyMurray, @BobbyScott, and @RepSummerLee for your leadership on the Child Care for Working Families Act. Babies and families need bold champions like you fighting for affordable, high-quality #childcare for all. #ThinkBabies

Another U.S. citizen murdered in the West Bank. Sayfollah Musallet deserves justice and accountability. The U.S. government must conduct a swift investigation and take action against settler violence. npr.org/2025/07/12/g-s…

As @VP heads to PA, don't forget he was the deciding vote on the federal budget that will do real damage while ballooning our national deficit.   From gutting health care and food benefits to killing tens of thousands of energy jobs, the bill is a disaster for people across PA.

Community safety isn’t about more cops or prisons. It’s about care during a crisis. Safe schools. Homes. It’s about dignity. Today we launched the Community Safety Agenda and reintroduced the People’s Response Act to invest in what truly keeps us safe: our people.

As Trump arrives in Pittsburgh, I stood yesterday with folks outside CMU who know what’s at stake—because while he sells lies, our communities are bracing for the harmful impact of the budget he signed into law. 18,000 in PA-12 will lose Medicaid. 10,000 will lose food…

Congresswoman Summer Lee spoke on the betrayal of they working class with cuts to food benefits, Medicaid and the work to protect us from climate change. "...the betrayal comes in them trying to convince us that it's in our best interest," Lee said.

Today at Carnegie Mellon University, ahead of the president's visit tomorrow, 32BJ SEIU met with Rep. Summer Lee, local workers, elected officials & community advocates to emphasize Pittsburgh’s unwavering commitment to protecting healthcare and public services.

Pittsburgh Congresswoman @RepSummerLee is a strong fighter for criminal legal reform who’s working to get big money and corporate influence out of politics. She is the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement.

Our @steelworkers show that unions care for their people far beyond the workplace as they stand up for our veterans. Thank you to the Veterans of Steel advocates pushing for the Saving Our Veterans Lives Act to help prevent veteran suicides. Let’s make this a reality.

We can’t have a democracy and have super PACs. Listen to my latest interview to hear why money in politics is the core problem in our democracy and my bill to abolish super PACs ⬇️
