Rep. Bobby Scott

Ahhh....now that’s more like it.

Ranking Member @BobbyScott, @RepDeSaulnier, and @RepSummerLee are demanding answers from the Trump Administration for failing to hold employers accountable for not reporting their efforts to bust unions. huffpost.com/entry/house-dem…

Dolores Huerta dedicated her life to fighting for civil rights, workers’ rights, and dignity for farm workers at @UFWUpdates. May we honor her life by carrying forward the work she began: ¡Sí, se puede! nytimes.com/2026/10/28/us/do…

Republicans’ cuts to SNAP are leaving children more likely to go hungry at lunch so that millionaires, billionaires, and corporations can enjoy bigger tax breaks. Kids can’t learn on an empty stomach. washingtonpost.com/education…

The public deserves to know if HHS lied in active litigation. HHS's failure to cooperate with requests for information about DOGE's access to sensitive information is alarming. @BobbyScott is demanding HHS's internal watchdog investigate the matter now. thehill.com/policy/healthcar…

Ranking Members @BobbyScott and @BernieSanders, joined by nearly 200 Members of Congress, demand that the Trump Administration end its attack on Head Start families and children. abcnews.com/Politics/democra…

Since Trump returned to office, Black unemployment has risen nearly a full percentage point. This Administration’s choices are having real world consequences on families’ ability to make ends meet and workers’ ability to receive equal pay for equal work. thegrio.com/2026/10/02/black…

Once again, the jobs report is telling Americans what they already knew — the economy is not working for them. Trump's economic policies are crushing the American worker.  Rising inflation, wage stagnation, and slow hiring make it clear that we need a different direction.

$500 right before the election won't help the 15 million people losing their insurance because of Medicaid cuts and expiring tax credits. And it won't come close to offsetting higher gas and other prices caused by an unnecessary war and chaotic tariffs. cnbc.com/2026/09/30/obamacar…

Direct care workers show up for our families every day. @BobbyScott, @Rep_Grijalva & @RepSusieLee are reintroducing the Direct CARE Opportunity Act to invest in training and create more opportunities for the workers who care for our nation. democrats-edworkforce.house.…

Protecting students should be a shared goal. Instead, the Trump Administration targets LGBTQIA+ students again and again, putting their safety and well-being at risk. Our students deserve better.

The Trump Admin claims it wants to hand education back to the states but this rule would give the already gutted Dept of Ed MORE power over school grants, weakens protections for underserved students, & lets them cut funding for no reason at all. @BobbyScott says: "withdraw it."

A government watchdog found that ED stopped monitoring $27 billion in K-12 funding for low-income schools. Without oversight, taxpayer money is now at risk of waste, fraud, and abuse. Maybe, instead of dismantling ED, it should focus on doing its job. gao.gov/products/gao-26-1079…

Republicans have too often sided with corporate interests over working people, and that includes attacking unions, which give workers a voice in the workplace, for fighting back against Trump's anti-worker agenda. The real threats to workers are not unions, but a rigged economy.

The House just passed the Science of Reading Act. Championed by Ranking Member @BobbyScott and @JohnMannionNY22, this bill puts decades of research on how kids learn to read—phonics, fluency, and comprehension—into action and ensures federal literacy dollars follow the evidence.

NEW: @BobbyScott, @Ilhan, and @RepCasar introduced the Protecting Workers’ Wages from Medical Debt Act to protect workers’ wages from being ripped from their paychecks for the payment of medical debt. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

Since returning to office, Trump has spent 131 days golfing and the rest of his time obsessing over his golden ballroom. Meanwhile, American workers are more productive than ever, even though wages have not kept up with rising costs. Who is it that needs to work harder, again?

NEW: Ranking Member @BobbyScott and @JohnMannionNY22 have launched an investigation into the NLRB General Counsel’s questionable decision to offer favorable settlement agreements to Amazon over the objections of workers and their unions.

When parents cannot find child care, they reduce their hours, turn down promotions, or leave the workforce entirely. Democrats are tackling the crisis head-on and fighting for access to affordable, quality child care. 🔗: youtube.com/watch?v=RtfxDrfo…

🚨The July jobs report is concerning: the economy lost 23,000 jobs while working families continue to face rising costs & growing uncertainty. We need policies that lower costs, raise wages, & create good-paying jobs—not worsen economic hardship.
