Rep. Lizzie Fletcher

New Year, New Congress, New Office! I'm excited to welcome our #TX07 neighbors to our new office in Rayburn House Office Building. Come see us! Visit fletcher.house.gov/contact/office… for details!

Is it possible this is the worst legislation of all time? A bill that not only funds President Trump's unvetted, undertrained paramilitary for the rest of his presidential term but also spends $1 billion on a gilded ballroom does not serve the people. npr.org/2026/05/06/g-s…

Texans spoke up and spoke out, and it mattered! I was glad to work with people from across out great state and our entire Texas Democratic Delegation to bring voices from Texas to D.C. to protect Big Bend National Park. We will—and must—remain vigilant in our resistance to this effort. texastribune.org/2026/05/08/big…

Surprise. President Trump had no plan to reduce inflation "on day one," and every action he has taken since entering office—outrageous tariffs, irresponsible spending on ballrooms and jets, entering a war with Iran—seems engineered to make life less affordable for working families. nbcnews.com/business/econo…

What a beautiful morning to break ground on the @CityOfBellaire's Cypress Ditch Project. It was a testament to community-driven, meaningful work to solve problems and protect our community. Glad to join Mayor Pappas and Bellaire City Councilmembers, Texas Representative Ann Johnson, incoming Harris County Attorney Abbie Kamin, and leaders from across #TX07 on the collaborative work that made this day possible. I was glad to secure $1,145,144 in congressional appropriations for this project through the Community Funded Project process, and to partner with this incredible team to move this project forward. This collaborative process should make us all proud!

More than 25 years ago, the FDA approved mifepristone as safe and effective. The Protecting Reproductive Freedom Act makes clear that the FDA’s authority is real and that no state can override it to deny women access to reproductive freedom. I'm glad to introduce this important legislation with @RepPatRyanNY, and I will continue fighting to protect reproductive freedom for women in Texas and across our country.

BREAKING: April CPI inflation rises to 3.8%, its highest level since May 2023. Core CPI inflation also rose to 2.8%, above expectations of 2.7%. We are now experiencing post-pandemic inflation levels amid surging oil prices. Odds of Fed rate HIKES are surging.

Having a passport before you need it helps ensure your travel plans aren't disrupted, gives you the security to move freely, and broadens your horizons. If you need a new one or want to renew your current one, attend our Passport Fair on May 30! RSVP: fletcher.house.gov/events.

On this day for those who nurture, challenge, & inspire us, I send best wishes to all the mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, aunts, and other mothers in our district. I'm so grateful and lucky that my own fabulous mom, who grew up here in #TX07, raised me here, too. #MothersDay

To the nurses who have seen it all and work long hours to help us, in #TX07 and across our community, thank you. As health care costs rise, in Washington, I am fighting for you so that you can have the resources you need to care for our neighbors.

May 5 marks the anniversary of the Mexican army's victory over France at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Today in #TX07, we celebrate all that followed as well as the cultural contributions of Mexican-Americans to our community. Feliz #CincoDeMayo!

The wisdom, attention, and kindness of great teachers can make all the difference in our lives and in our world. Today, we thank the people who have made it their life's work to teach. Happy #NationalTeacherDay!

Houstonians deserve to have a robust EPA lab to monitor and test our air and water quality. And we have one. That's why the EPA Region 6 Lab should stay in Houston—not send the samples and the scientists to Oklahoma. I asked the EPA administrator to do so again this week when he testified before the Energy & Commerce Committee.

Next Tuesday! Stop by our Constituent Services Pop-up at the Chinese Community Center anytime between 10am and noon to talk to our constituent advocates about federal agency issues.

Around the world, it's World Press Freedom Day, when we honor the important role the press plays in keeping us informed, sometimes when it is dangerous to do so. The U.S. government must continue to call for the release of imprisoned reporters globally—and it must also refrain from antagonizing press at home. rsf.org/en/country/uni…

Happy #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth! This month, we celebrate the contributions that Jewish Americans have made in #TX07, our community, and our country throughout our country's 250 years. #OurSharedHeritage

These are stressful financial times for Houstonians. The annual Houston Area Survey is out and, for the first time in years, the economy is the #1 issue among respondents. I'm working in Congress to address the challenges we face from the high cost of food, healthcare, housing, and more. But we need willing partners on the other side of the aisle, and I hope Congressional Republicans will listen to Houstonians and Americans and make this work a priority. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

In this country, people and their representatives discuss, debate, and deliberate. It is at the very heart of our system of government. That Secretary Hegseth thinks patriotic Americans voicing their views are the biggest problem he has shows his utter lack of understanding of the geopolitical and security risks we face, and a lack of faith in the Constitution and the people of the United States that make him unfit for the office he holds. youtube.com/watch?v=eIkQRT…

Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! #TX07 is lucky to be home to a thriving #AANHPI community. As a member of @CAPAC, I’m proud to celebrate their diverse heritages and our shared history!

Drastic cuts to FDA's staff are a direct threat to our food safety system. The system doesn't work if you take out all the people who do the work.
