Washington, D.C. – "Republicans have spent the first 100 days of this Congress stacking the deck for the special interests at the expense of hard-working American families," said Congressman Brendan Boyle. "Hard-working Americans deserve better from their Congress. We should be championing bigger paychecks and better infrastructure for everyone, not serving the special interests."

It's not every day that you see Rob Wondering, CEO of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, gladly sharing a stage – and a message – with a handful of union leaders. But on an unusually dreary April morning, such an unusual sight was inspired by a dreary topic: the deteriorated state of transportation infrastructure and the rapidly depleting federal Highway Trust Fund.
Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) voted for the 2016 House Democratic Budget, titled "Economic Opportunity for Americans Working Hard to Get Ahead."
"This budget puts hard-working American families first," said Congressman Boyle. "The top priority of the House Democratic Budget is the American people. It will boost the economy, create more broadly shared prosperity, make critical investments in our future, and keep our promises to seniors – making sure all Americans, not just the wealthy and well-connected, benefit from our growing economy."
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) joined Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) in reintroducing the Paycheck Fairness Act, legislation which would help close the wage gap between women and men working the same jobs. On average, women make just 78 cents for every dollar made by a man.
Washington- Today, House Republicans released their latest 10 year budget plan which includes repealing the Affordable Care Act, cutting billions of dollars from Medicaid, and shrinking Pell Grant allowances.
"Once again the Republicans are trotting out old ideas to do new damage to seniors, children and families," said Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13). "This budget is a that statement embodies their values, which clearly puts big tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy ahead of the challenges faced by hardworking American families."
Washington, DC– Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) urges his Republican colleagues in the House to approve a "clean" long-term bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
"Enough is enough," said Congressman Boyle. "The clock is ticking and the time to act responsibly is now. Our Homeland Security Department cannot afford three more weeks of Republican uncertainty, now is not the time to kick the can down the road. The country needs long term funding for DHS passed now."
February 7, 2015- Two area congressmen said Friday that the Navy's repeated delays on off-loading the former Willow Grove air base were having a ripple effect on the ability of local, state, and federal agencies to plan for the future.
Reps. Patrick Meehan and Brendan Boyle said the continued delays on transferring the 850-acre base were hindering planning for school enrollment, transportation projects, and attracting real estate and business investment.
I come to the floor today to add my support to the budget that the Administration has just proposed. It recognizes that the middle class is the true engine of economic growth. American workers are capable of creating world-beating value if they are permitted some opportunity, some modest investment, and a fair tax environment that rewards them for their labor. We ‘ve already had a preview of the opposite approach: of letting our citizens fend for themselves in the economic "state of nature" known as austerity.
