2012 Best of Congress Profiles

Overall, the 112th Congress, which started in January 2011 and lasts through January 2013, has produced more rancor than bipartisan legislation to promote the well-being of the nation’s families. But these 30 lawmakers have bucked the trend to continue pushing for measures that would help working parents thrive in their jobs and at home.

Representative Tammy Baldwin

D-Wisconsin

What we love:
Since 1998, when she became the first woman from Wisconsin elected to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Tammy Baldwin has been a leading advocate for universal health care and a supporter of civil rights. During this session of Congress, Baldwin opposed legislation that would restrict women’s and children’s right to receive medical care. She also voted against legislation aimed at removing funding for school-based health centers. She has sponsored legislation to improve media literacy programs for young people and to encourage the promotion of healthier media messages about girls and women. For her own staff, Baldwin allows flexible hours and extended time off, with or without pay, as circumstances require. One of the congresswoman’s staff members says: “As a mother of two young children, I wouldn’t be able to stay happily in the workforce if I didn’t have a job that was both flexible and professionally stimulating.”

I think anything "Best of" should never include all the Republican's on the list (minus Paulsen, per my research) since they signed the Norquist Tax Pledge. Anyone who signs an unaccountable special interest piece of paper like that should not be rewarded with accolades. If I went to work promising not to do my job I would be fired.

So instead of making intelligent cuts in wasteful programs, Congressman Paulsen insisted on off-setting the deficit by raising the tax burden on middle-class families (which includes many WORKING mothers). - Representative Paulsen voted YES on banning federal health coverage that protects a woman's right to choose (even in cases of rape and incest) Shame on Working Mother Magazine for not doing more research on who they selected for their "Best of Congress" accolades. Perhaps you should have conferred with the women of Minnesota's 3rd district (and not just those who work for and are PAID BY Representative Paulsen).
