Yesterday, Rep. Dean spoke out about reports that the Environmental Protection Agency will not set a national drinking water standard for two PFAS chemicals.

 

WASHINGTON – Yesterday, Rep. Madeleine Dean helped launch Congress’s new PFAS Task Force. The bipartisan Task Force will address drinking water contamination across the country. “For years, constituents in my district – in towns like Horsham, Willow Grove, Upper Dublin and North Hills – have worried about the quality of their water and the impact on their health and the health of their families. Like citizens who live near military bases across the country, their water supplies have been tainted with a class of man-made chemicals known as PFAS,” commented Rep. Dean.

WASHINGTON – Last night, Rep. Dean was elected by her colleagues to serve as Vice Chair of the Bipartisan Women’s Caucus. The Caucus addresses a range of issues that are important to citizens in Montgomery and Berks counties — and across the country. “As Vice Chair, I will promote affordable, comprehensive healthcare; equality in pay, housing, and representation; high quality education and childcare; and workforce development and STEM training,” said Rep. Dean. “I will also protect reproductive rights and hold perpetrators of discrimination, sexual assault, and sexual harassment accountable.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Thursday, January 4, Rep. Madeleine Dean (PA-4) joined the new House Democratic majority in introducing H.R. 1, the For the People Act, a sweeping package of pro-democracy and anticorruption reforms that will put the power back in the hands of the American people by ending the dominance of big money in politics; making it easier, not harder, to vote; and ensuring that politicians actually serve the public interest.
