Happy Mother's Day! We are so proud of all the pro-choice Democratic moms who have stepped up to run for office.

Because when moms are in office, policy outcomes change for the better. When moms are at the decision making table, we all benefit. #HappyMothersDay #ElectMoms
. @TammyforIL knows what it’s like to be a working mom. In 2018, Tammy became the first senator to give birth while in office.

But Senate rules didn’t allow babies on the Senate floor. So Tammy fought to change the rule and later voted with her newborn daughter on her lap.
After losing her son Jordan to gun violence, @lucymcbath channeled her grief into action and became an advocate and a congresswoman.

“By fighting in Congress to protect our kids, I am continuing my role as Jordan’s mom."
. @friendsforbatch, a lawyer and North Carolina state representative, had to take unpaid leave after the birth of her sons.

This year, Sydney shared her story in Congress when she testified in support of paid family and medical leave. We need more moms like Sydney in office!
Rep. @katieporteroc is the only single mom with young children in Congress. She understands the challenges moms face, including expensive child care costs.

That’s why she introduced legislation to help more working parents like her run for office!
Mother and grandmother @AlmaforCongress founded the Black Maternal Health Caucus with @LaurenUnderwood last year.

Thank you, Alma, for working to improve health care outcomes for Black mothers across America.
. @AngieCraigMN, the first gay mom in Congress, made it possible for LGBTQ+ couples to adopt children in TN when she fought for custody of her son in court.

Even before she was a representative, Angie’s courage showed us that all parents should be treated equally under the law.
