More than 20 years ago, survivors first came forward in Palm Beach County.
Prosecutors could’ve stopped Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse there.
Survivors deserve answers, accountability, and a justice system that never leaves them in the dark again.
That’s what this @oversightdems hearing was about.
We must fight for an America that leads, not one that turns its back on the world.
Yesterday, I joined hundreds of public servants and community leaders to oppose the reckless, short-sighted, and dangerous effort to dismantle USAID—one of our most critical tools of foreign policy.
Congresswoman Lois Frankel here!
I’m honored to serve Palm Beach County in Congress, where I’m committed to lowering everyday costs and drug prices, fighting for reproductive freedom, standing with Israel, and protecting our communities from gun violence.
Follow along to see how I’m working for you!
The Courtney Wild Act would make certain that survivors receive the rights promised to them.
Survivors need to be protected, heard, and treated with dignity. We’ll keep fighting side by side.
The Epstein survivors were failed twice — first by a serial predator, and then by a system that protected power and privilege over vulnerable young women and girls.
That cannot happen again.
Yesterday, @repdws amendment passed to require stronger oversight of whether the Department of Justice is truly complying with the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, including when prosecutors negotiate plea deals before charges are filed.
This is an important step toward accountability, reform, and restoring public trust.
I’m proud to secure $4.2M+ for critical public safety projects that will help keep PBC safe, prepared, and open for business during emergencies.
This funding will help modernize the seawall at the historic Boynton Harbor Marina and support new Emergency Operations Centers in Greenacres, Wellington, and Lake Worth Beach.
Hamas can’t have a role in Gaza’s future.
But the reality is that thousands of Gazans lack access to clean water or a roof over their heads.
We have a long road ahead, but we must start with reconstruction to make peace and security possible for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
Our national security at home depends on smart, strategic leadership abroad.
Republicans’ FY27 National Security and Department of State funding bill fails that test.
We can do better—and we must.
Watch my remarks in today’s debate.
Trump is asking for billions more for war—while cutting the very investments that build lasting peace, security, and prosperity for America and our allies.
Yes, we need a strong military. But bombs and drones respond to threats—they don’t prevent them.
Diplomacy and development do.
Until Republicans balance the strength of our military with the power of our leadership, I’m a no on this bill.
My colleagues claim they are pro-life, but what about the lives of pregnant women?
I introduced an amendment to protect abortion access for federal employees, because women deserve the freedom to do what’s best for them, without politicians standing in the way.
Royal Palm Beach native Makenzie is heading to the U.S. Naval Academy.
So proud of this incredible student, and I know she’s going to do amazing things.
Thank you for your service, Makenzie!
RFK Jr. got enough time to spread nonsense. I wasn’t about to give him one second more.
Gavi’s global vaccine initiatives prevent deadly outbreaks overseas before they can reach our shores.
RFK Jr.’s decision to freeze this funding is dangerously shortsighted.
