Emily couldn’t stay silent in the face of hateful, dangerous rhetoric about LGBTQ+ kids and families from House Republicans. So, she spoke from the heart:

This is why we worked so hard to send Emily to D.C. – so she could be a voice for those who are too often shut out of the halls of power.

________________________________
FULL TRANSCRIPT:
Mr. Speaker, I’ve been sitting here listening to the remarks on the floor, and I have to admit that I find myself torn between heartbroken tears and the urge to throw something — which
I will not do, because I am a professional human being.
But I have to wonder how many actual trans people and the families of trans kids anyone on the other side of the aisle knows. How many conversations anyone has had with parents who are
staying up late, worried about whether that night is the night that their child is going to take their life because they feel so unsupported and so unloved, and are taking in the hatred
from the floor of the House of Representatives.
The kids and the parents in my community live their lives in terror. And they have it the best, because Washington State is a place where we have fought to protect healthcare access
for LGBTQ kids and trans kids. We have fought to ensure that every young person has the ability to make healthcare decisions that are right for them in consultation with their parents
and their doctors.
It is medically directed care in consultation with a doctor. The American people have told us over and over that they don’t want politicians in the doctor’s office. They don’t want politicians
making decisions about what kind of medical care they can access. That is what is happening right now.
They are trying to strip away life-saving care from children who are moving to my state at higher and higher rates. Almost every week I hear of a family who has moved from Texas or Idaho
or Florida because their parents want their children to survive.
And this effort, not only to cut Medicaid coverage, but to try and ban access for children... this behavior is appalling. It’s dangerous. It’s evil. It is evil to seek to deny life-saving
care from children who are more at risk than any others.
I spend a lot of time in LGBTQ clubs in high schools talking to young people who are shocked when I come in and tell them that, as a queer woman, I’m a member of Congress. And they say,
“Do you know any trans people your age?” Because they don’t believe that they will make it to 40. They don’t believe that they will make it to 50 or 60. They don’t believe that they
have a future.
They are watching the floor, and they listen to the words that come out of our mouths, and they know that half of the people in this chamber do not care if they survive.
I think it’s very clear that I’m not going to vote for this bill, and I would urge all of my colleagues to join me. I yield back.

Emily Randall is proud to represent Washington’s 6th District in Congress. She grew up in a working-class Union household in Port Orchard and was the first in her family to attend college.
After serving in the State Senate and passing nearly 200 bills, Emily made history in 2024 as the first queer Latina elected to Congress.
Now, Emily is fighting for WA working families in D.C. and organizing to take back the House. Can you chip in $6 or any amount and join our team?
