Wasserman Schultz Statement on November 2014 Jobs Report
12/05/14Nearly five years of uninterrupted private sector job growth have added about 11 million jobs to the economy, and not since the end of the Clinton Administration have we seen as strong of a year as 2014. Knowing the work ethic of the American people and the vision the President has for the future, I am more confident than ever that we will see expanded growth and increased opportunities for working families.< Read more > -
Wasserman Schultz Statement on House Yoho Immigration Bill Vote
12/04/14The President has repeatedly asked Congress to send him a comprehensive immigration reform bill, and in Republicans' refusal to do so, the President has clearly communicated to the American people that he will act within his executive authority – as his Republican and Democratic predecessors have done – to strengthen our borders, bolster our economy, keep families together, and bring dignity to those living in the shadows.< Read more > -
Wasserman Schultz Statement on ABLE Act Vote
12/03/14I decided not to vote for the bill once Republicans insisted on funding it by making permanent cuts to Medicare. I cannot in good conscience support Medicare cuts that will have a direct impact on the care that some seniors receive. At a time when we are concerned about the long-term solvency of Medicare and looking for ways to strengthen the program, cutting it is bad policy. I believe there were plenty of other pay-for options the Congress could have considered to fund the ABLE Act.< Read more > -
Wasserman Schultz Statement on Fla. Same-Sex Marriage Case Development
12/03/14Our current state law against same-sex marriage is an incredible miscarriage of justice. It is sad. It is cruel. It is unfair. And while the 11th Circuit has yet to rule on the merits of the case, its decision today not to extend the stay put in place by the lower court is a very good sign that Florida's same-sex marriage ban appears headed for the ash heap of history.< Read more > -
Wasserman Schultz Statement on White House Recognition of Broward County as Climate Action Champion
12/03/14Once again, local municipalities are showing Congress what's possible when they come together, roll up their sleeves, and work to solve problems. In South Florida we are the poster child for the impacts of climate change, and for years our Broward County leaders have worked tirelessly on short and long-term solutions that address issues such as carbon emissions and sea-level rise while enhancing our economy and protecting our cherished South Florida environment.< Read more > - November 2014

Wasserman Schultz Statement on Venezuela UN Security Council Election
10/16/14Since assuming power more than one year ago, President Maduro has demonstrated a flagrant disregard for democratic principles and international human rights standards by repressing and brutalizing his own citizens.

10/06/14Today is a momentous day in American history, one of the surest signs yet that the Supreme Court now recognizes what many of us have known to be true for years: denying same-sex couples the ability to marry is discrimination before the law, pure and simple.

07/29/14Washington, D.C.– The Longshore Harbor Workers' Compensation Clarification Act, introduced by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23), and passed by the House of Representatives today, reinstated congressional intent to ensure that workers in the recreational marine repair industry have adequate workers' compensation coverage.

Wasserman Schultz and Ros-Lehtinen Statement on Human Rights, Justice in Venezuela
07/24/14We remain extremely concerned about human rights violations in Venezuela and stand in support of Leopoldo Lopez and the more than 100 political prisoners of conscience who are wrongly being detained by the Maduro regime. Yesterday's sham trial is indicative of the corrupt judicial system in Venezuela that is being used to silence freedom loving individuals who seek justice. It is clear that Leopoldo and hundreds of others are being held in prison on trumped up and politically motivated charges and they must be released immediately.< Read more > -
Wasserman Schultz Statement in Response to ACA Subsidy Rulings
07/22/14"Today the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals rightly affirmed consumers' ability to access health care subsidies regardless of the type of marketplace operating in their state...The two decisions could not be more stark, and as this issue makes its way through the judicial system I believe the ultimate ruling will come down in favor of Congress' clear intent: that the American people should have the ability to access affordable, quality health insurance no matter where they live."< Read more > -
Wasserman Schultz Statement on Fla. Judge Overturning Ban on Same-Sex Marriage
07/17/14Judge Luis Garcia took a bold and historic step today by declaring Florida's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. Even in the face of Attorney General Bondi's statement that she will appeal the decision, I believe in my heart of hearts that this is the beginning of the end of discrimination based on who you love in our state. There can be no denying the national march toward full marriage equality and Florida is overdue in finally falling in step with ensuring equal treatment under the law.< Read more > -

Wasserman Schultz Original Co-Sponsor of Hobby Lobby Response Legislation
07/09/14"The Supreme Court's decision in these cases effectively said that the religious preferences of employers trump the personal health rights and decisions of employees, and Congressional Democrats believe this posture is not only legally weak, but a gross intrusion into the personal lives of women and families," Rep. Wasserman Schultz said. "This bill reaffirms what we know to be true, that employers don't belong in the bedrooms, doctor's offices, or pharmacies of their employees."< Read more > -

I condemn in the strongest terms rocket fire targeted at civilians coming from terrorist groups like Hamas in the Gaza strip. Israel has every right to defend itself against these vicious attacks. No country can stand idly by as indiscriminate attacks threaten its citizens. Since June 12, nearly 300 rockets have been fired from Gaza into Israel."< Read more > -
Wasserman Schultz Statement on Arrest of Suspects in Palestinian Teen Murder
07/07/14The alleged revenge killing of a Palestinian teenager in the aftermath of the murder of three Israeli teenagers is a heartbreaking tragedy. I commend the Israeli government for swiftly condemning this act and for its commitment to bring the perpetrators to justice using the fullest extent of the law. The Israeli government's response, including Prime Minister Netanyahu personally calling Muhammad Abu Khdeir's family and the quick arrest of six suspects demonstrates Israel's commitment to holding the perpetrators of this heinous crime accountable.< Read more > - June 2014

The terrorist cowards who perpetrated such heinous crimes must be brought to justice swiftly."< Read more > -

Wasserman Schultz Statement on Republicans Suing President Obama
06/25/14House Republicans will do anything to distract from their inability or unwillingness to legislate, and each time they do so they step further to the right and further away from the economic and security priorities of the American people. Today's announcement by Speaker Boehner fits squarely into their failed leadership agenda, but goes even further because it is so hypocritical and is so personally motivated by their political opposition to the President.< Read more > -

Wasserman Schultz Statement on ENDA Executive Order
06/16/14As a representative of one of the largest LGBT communities in the country, I am thrilled with today's announcement from President Obama that soon federal contractors will be prohibited from discriminating against their employees because of who they love. This important step by the President continues our march toward the equality that makes our country an even stronger democracy and it is my hope that my GOP colleagues are watching closely because equality is not an aspiration, it is a destination that we should work toward together. An executive order is important, but legislation is lasting.< Read more > -
Wasserman Schultz Statement on Kidnapping of Israeli Teens
06/16/14As a mother of teenagers, my heart goes out to the families of the children who were kidnapped while coming home from school. I join all of Israel in praying for their safe and speedy return.

I condemn this cowardly act in the strongest terms possible, and I join in calling for those responsible to be held fully accountable for their crimes.< Read more > -

06/06/14As a cancer survivor, mother and lawmaker, I am acutely empathetic to the suffering of people with terminal illnesses and chronic pain.

Wasserman Schultz Statement on New EPA Clean Power Plan
06/02/14Today's announcement will help states like Florida continue moving in the right direction. In fact, Florida already has a plan in place to meet EPA's goals. The state's 2008 "Florida Energy and Climate Change Action Plan," if fully implemented, would save Floridians $28 billion and reduce our carbon footprint by 64%. EPA's plan will also give a boost to our South Florida counties, which have created the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, and are working hard to provide adaption strategies necessary to deal with current and future impacts of climate change.< Read more > -

Wasserman Schultz Statement on Equal Pay Day
04/08/14Despite the leaps and bounds women have made in the American workforce over the last century, today they still work in a nation where on average women make 77 cents for every dollar earned by a man. This is unacceptable at a time when women make up half of the workforce and so many are the heads of their household. In my home state of Florida, eliminating the pay gap would earn a woman enough money to afford a year's worth of groceries.< Read more > -
