If we are to stop this crisis we must all work together and address the complex issues in maternal and infant health.

These numbers are unacceptably high.

As a nation with some of the most advanced obstetric and emergency care, we can and should do better.

So we support the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act along with over 30 other organizations because we think that when babies are born, due to no fault of their own or their families, with these kind of birth defects, they deserve and need the…

That name comes from a man who traveled around the country doing experiments on women without any anesthesia...

Congress must pass legislation to expand access to programs, like WIC, that have helped mothers navigate healthy pregnancies for decades.

As Chairwoman Adams has stated, nursing workers that are eligible for overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act are entitled to break time and a private space to express mother's milk.

It's up to us as lawmakers to make it easier for our caregivers to take what works and expand upon it.

the operational implications of the grounding and safety certification of the Boeing 737 MAX are literally a matter of life and death

we must ensure that the planes that are certified to fly go through the most comprehensive certification process modernly available

the Boeing 737 MAX was marketed as a safe, modern airplane; however, after two major failures and hundreds of people losing their lives, we now know that the 737 MAX is not a safe plane

I look forward to the testimony of the witnesses and the answers to my questions
