Washington, D.C. – Washington, D.C. – Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) joined hundreds of members of the House and Senate in support of Marriage Equality as the U.S. Supreme Court begins oral arguments today.

Washington, DC- This week, Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) joined Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Task Force Chairwoman Donna Edwards, and Reps. John Larson, Chris Van Hollen, Ted Deutch, and Zoe Lofgen to call for action to address Citizens United and the corrupting influence of money in politics, and unveil the ‘Democracy For All Task Force: Restoring People-Powered Politics.' Boyle is one of three freshmen asked by Leader Pelosi to join the Task Force.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – "We've made great progress over the past 45 years, but we still have so much more to do to ensure we leave behind a better world for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren," said Congressman Brendan Boyle. "It is appropriate that this year the theme of Earth Day celebrations across the nation is ‘It's Our Turn to Lead.' From talking honestly about the climate crisis and tackling the challenge head-on to investing in renewable energy and innovative technologies, we can lead the global community and create jobs and opportunity here at home."

Washington, DC- "I am still in shock after reading the OIG report this morning. This is a sad day for Philadelphia. It is unthinkable that this level of duplicity, mismanagement, and corruption happened at an agency whose first priority should have been to help our nation's heroes. Instead they systemically lied, hid, and manipulated their employees to save their own skin. This is a disgrace to Philadelphia and the entire country. I hope we can learn from this incredible miscarriage of trust and justice so that it will never happen again."

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."

WASHINGTON, D.C. – As we mark Equal Pay Day today, Congressman Brendan Boyle D-PA-13 continues to demand that more be done to close the wage gap that still exists between women and men – including passage of the critical Paycheck Fairness Act. Equal Pay Day symbolizes when, more than three months into the year, women's wages finally catch up to what men were paid in the previous year.

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.
