Save Voters Act
Voting is a permanent guarantee that is the very lifeblood of our nation. As the Representative of Ohio’s Third Congressional District and the Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Representative Joyce Beatty is committed to doing everything in her power toward making it easier, not more difficult, for people to vote.
For the People
Your voice is your vote, and your vote is your power. Our democracy must serve all Americans, and generations of civil rights activists like Congressman John Lewis fought to make sure every citizen has the opportunity to make their voice heard. Republicans in Congress and in state governments have shown that they will take any and every opportunity to put politics, power, and profit over the American people, particularly when it comes to diminishing and often silencing the voices of minority communities.
Don’t Mess with USPS
The United States Postal Office has historically played an important role as a safeguard for our democracy. This role will be even more significant this November because voting by mail will protect the health and safety of citizens in the Third Congressional District and in districts across America.

Creating Infrastructure for the Future
As we consider the long road to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, Democratic legislators like Representative Joyce Beatty know that we need sweeping, comprehensive legislation to bring our nation’s infrastructure up to speed.
Last week, Rep. Beatty proudly joined a majority of her House colleagues in passing the Moving Forward Act, H.R. 2.
Rep. Joyce Beatty helps pass the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Enhancement Act
Last week, Representative Joyce Beatty went back to Washington to fight for the health and safety for all Ohioans of the Third District. The Trump Administration continues to gut protections for pre-existing conditions and strip healthcare coverage from 20 million Americans.
That’s why Rep. Beatty joined her Democratic Congressional colleagues in passing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Enhancement Act, H.R. 1425.

Beatty introduced House Resolution 990, a resolution that recognizes racism as a ‘national crisis’ and calls for truth and reconciliation for Congress and the country to undertake.
How a Democratic “Minority-Engagement Program” Is Fighting Ohio’s Voter-Roll Purges and Their Impact on Black People
The Ohio Democratic Party has created a program designed to target black voters and capitalize on community grassroots voter initiatives ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
The “minority-engagement program” was established earlier this year, just before the Supreme Court ruled that states can kick people off of voter rolls if they haven’t participated in several elections and failed to respond to a notice from election officials, as reported by the The New York Times. The Times recently reported that Ohio is “more aggressive than any other state in purging its voter rolls,” and noted that the state’s purging process, which critics say disproportionately affects Democrats, is initiated after one missed federal-election cycle.
