U.S. Representative Lois J. Frankel (FL-21)
From her days as a working mom and now as she describes herself—a working grandmother, Congresswoman Lois Frankel has spent her life delivering positive change to her community as a civic leader, state legislator, mayor, and now Member of the United States House of Representatives. Currently, she sits on the House Appropriations Committee and on the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, which is personal to her as a proud mom of a brave Marine war veteran.
We are a nation with a proud immigrant tradition. Not only have immigrants enriched our ethnic and cultural diversity, they also played an important role in our country's economic vitality. With 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the shadows of our country, Congresswoman Frankel believes it is time to fix our nation’s broken immigration system. Reform should reflect both our national interests and our values. This includes respect of rule of law, keeping families together, and giving people the opportunity to better their lives with a clear path to citizenship that allows them to pay taxes and educate their children.
