It’s no secret that costs are too high for families in Florida and across the country. That’s why Lois Frankel is fighting to lower the cost of everyday essentials — from groceries and prescription drugs to housing and health care — because hard-working Americans shouldn’t have to choose between putting food on the table and paying for medicine.
In Congress, Lois supports legislation to reduce prescription drug prices, make homeownership and rent more affordable, extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, and lower taxes for families with children.

Here in South Florida, many of our neighbors and relatives rely on Social Security and Medicare. Our seniors have spent their entire lives contributing to these programs and they deserve to know that Social Security and Medicare will be there for them when they retire.
Lois believes that access to high-quality, affordable health care is essential for all Americans. Lois has fought aggressively against Republican-led efforts to cut our Medicare and Medicaid and rejected efforts to privatize Social Security.
With Lois’s support, the Inflation Reduction Act made important changes to Medicare to reduce prescription drug costs, caps insulin at $35 per month, makes recommended vaccines free, and caps out of pocket costs for prescriptions at $2,000.
Lois has also fought to ensure that Medicare covers maternal and reproductive health care such as birth control and HPV vaccinations, and has led efforts to expand access and funding for pre- and post-natal maternity care for all Americans.

Lois Frankel believes every democracy only works when every voter has an equal opportunity to make their voice heard. She has opposed efforts to make voting more difficult and supported federal legislation, including the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, to strengthen protections against voter discrimination and expand access to the ballot. Lois also continues to defend vote-by-mail, which many seniors, military families, people with disabilities, and working Floridians rely on to participate in elections.
As Governor DeSantis and national Republicans attempt to gut the Voting Rights Act and illegally gerrymander Florida’s congressional districts to reduce Black and Latino voting power, Lois has stood firm against these attacks on our democracy and fought to protect free and fair elections.

Lois has never wavered in her belief that a woman must have freedom over their reproductive health without the involvement of government officials. She is a life-long supporter of women’s right to an abortion, birth control, and all reproductive health care. She is one of the lead sponsors of the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would ensure access to abortion in every state. She also supports strong federal investment in in all areas of women’s health, including contraception and maternal care.
As Chair Emerita of the Democratic Women’s Caucus, she has helped promote a progressive agenda that fights for equal pay, eliminating sexual harassment, and making sure women and girls have equal access to the tools needed to succeed, so that our communities across the country are more prosperous.
Lois also believes we need more women’s voices in positions of power, which is why she works tirelessly to help get women elected to office, as a co-chair of both Elect Democratic Women, she works to support women congressional candidates across the country.

Lois has been a consistent advocate for security assistance to help the Jewish state defend herself from the many threats in the region, especially after the horrific October 7th attack by Hamas. She has been a leading voice of condemning the use of sexual violence by Hamas, calling for the immediate release of hostages, and supporting assistance to Israel and innocent civilians in Gaza.
Through her position on the Appropriations Subcommittee for State and Foreign Operations, Lois has helped advance America’s partnership with Israel in technology, medicine, humanitarian development, and defense.
Lois has traveled to Israel, including with her son, a U.S. Marine veteran, where she saw first-hand the importance of a stable, pluralistic, secure, and democratic ally in the Middle East working towards a comprehensive two-state solution. Lois believes that Israel’s security is our security and Israel’s values are our values – and will continue to safeguard the critical bipartisan consensus on the U.S.-Israel relationship.

Lois Frankel believes that protecting families from gun violence requires both strong laws and meaningful community action. In Congress, she supported the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and has backed measures to strengthen background checks, keep firearms away from dangerous individuals, combat illegal gun trafficking, and expand access to mental health resources. She continues to advocate for additional commonsense reforms, including banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, promoting secure firearm storage, and expanding the use of extreme risk protection orders.
Lois has also worked closely with gun violence prevention advocates to build support for policies that make communities safer while respecting responsible gun ownership, repeatedly earning the Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction.

Lois helped pass the largest infrastructure funding bill in the past 50 years, securing billions of dollars for our state and Palm Beach County. This law will not only rebuild our roads and bridges, but will create a greener future by constructing a national electric vehicle charging system, making huge investments in green energy like solar and wind, and providing tens of millions of people with clean water. We’ve already seen many projects come to fruition and will continue to see investments in the community for years to come.

Lois has been a fierce champion for environmental protection and renewable energy in Congress, and repeatedly been endorsed by the Sierra Club and the League of Conservation Voters.
With Lois’s support, Congressional Democrats passed, and President Biden signed, the largest investment in our history in clean energy and combatting climate change. This once-in-a-generation funding will significantly increase green energy production, provide incentives to buy electric vehicles and energy efficient appliances, create a nationwide network for charging stations, and reduce carbon emissions. Independent analysis shows that this legislation should reduce US greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.
From her position on the Appropriations Committee, Lois worked to include the highest amount of Everglades restoration funding in history in this year’s federal budget and will continue to advocate for more funding to protect our water supply.

The U.S. Supreme Court declaring marriage equality in June 2015 was a monumental decision in our history. However, Lois knows that the fight for LGBTQ+ rights is far from over. In fact, the conservative Supreme Court and laws passed by the Florida legislature have shown us why Congress needs to act to enshrine these rights into law.
As a member of the Equality Caucus (formerly known as the LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus), Lois has a proven record protecting LGBTQ+ Americans. Lois is an original cosponsor of the Equality Act, which would create the most comprehensive LGBTQ+ protections in our country by including sexual orientation and gender identity as a protected class in employment, housing, education, credit, jury duty, and all other aspects of government.
She works to protect LGBTQ+ Americans in all aspects of their life, including serving as a member of the LGBTQ+ Aging Taskforce, which focuses on ways to protect LGBTQ+ seniors. Lois was also an original co-sponsor of the Ruthie and Connie LGBT Elder Americans Act, named after her own champion constituent, which addresses the challenges in senior communities.
She will continue to fight for equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community here in South Florida and has worked with local Palm Beach County LGBTQ+ organizations to provide funding and support for these vital support networks.
This is why Lois is proud to be endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign and has repeatedly been supported by local LGBTQ+ groups in South Florida.

Lois is grateful to all those who have served to protect our country and freedoms. While her son Ben, who served as a Marine in Iraq and Afghanistan, returned home safely, she knows that many have made many sacrifices. Lois has worked to ensure Veterans have all the support they need when they return home, including proper health care, education, and more. She was a proud supporter of the PACT Act, which drastically expanded VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances.
Through her position on the Appropriations Committee, she has funded a program that creates Veteran student centers on campuses across the country. These centers help Veterans with their GI benefits, tutoring, and other support.
