US EditionHow bipartisan lawmakers are pushing Congress to update its voting rules for new parents

- The bipartisan effort includes support from Reps. Mike Lawler and Sara Jacobs, with eleven House Republicans defying their leadership to sign the discharge petition.
- Both Pettersen and Luna expressed the need for lawmakers who can relate to young parents and emphasized that missing votes harms representation, stating, 'We don’t want to lose the representation of parents who understand the struggles families are going through.'
