As your constituent, I am writing to warmly welcome you to the 116th Congress and extend my best wishes for the years ahead. As you address our nation's opportunities and challenges in the new session, I urge you to consider the role that breastfeeding plays in giving mothers and their children important and long-lasting health benefits that contribute to significant public health cost savings. Monumental health and economic gains can be achieved through policy and practice changes that ensure American families have the support they need to reach their breastfeeding goals.

Thank you for your careful consideration of the following priorities you can move forward in the 116th Congress to help support breastfeeding:

BREASTFEEDING POLICY PRIORITIES
1. Increasing access to paid family leave
2. Maintaining health plan coverage of breastfeeding support & supplies
3. Supporting working parents

5. Increasing access to lactation support providers

Learn more about each of these priorities and how you can support them here: www.usbreastfeeding.org/welcome-116-congress

As a member of the 116th Congress, I encourage your leadership in bringing policymakers together to improve the landscape of care for our nation's breastfeeding families. I look forward to working with you to advance these policy priorities during the upcoming session, and again, welcome!
