Rep. Lizzie Fletcher, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 7th district, has been active in addressing issues of gender bias and celebrating educational achievements in her constituency. Her recent social media activity highlights her legislative initiatives and support for local institutions.
On December 9, 2024, Rep. Fletcher announced her collaboration with Rep. Pettersen to introduce the Pink Tariffs Study Act aimed at investigating gender bias in product tariffs. "That's why I partnered with @RepPettersen to introduce the Pink Tariffs Study Act to get to the bottom of gender bias in these products."
In another post on the same day, she brought attention to the disparity in tariffs between men's and women's clothing. She stated that American women pay approximately 3% more in tariffs on their clothing than men do, highlighting this as an overlooked cost that should be addressed. "Did you know? American women pay, on average, 3% more in tariffs on their clothing than men."
The following day, December 10, 2024, Rep. Fletcher congratulated the University of Houston School of Nursing for its top ranking by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing and celebrated their achievement of a 100% first-time passing rate on the NCLEX-RN exam. "Congratulations to the @UHouston School of Nursing based in #TX07's Sugar Land on earning the National Council of State Boards of Nursing's #1 ranking in several categories!"
