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.
The United States faces a wide range of international challenges, including threats to our national security, economy, environment, and basic human rights. As Co-Chair of the bipartisan Women, Peace, and Security Caucus, a member of the State and Foreign Operations subcommittee, and a former member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Congresswoman Frankel is focused on improving the effectiveness of U.S. diplomatic, economic, and military engagement.
During her time on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Frankel has worked across the aisle to bolster security for our diplomats serving in high threat posts overseas, prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, combat the rise of terrorist groups across the Middle East and Africa, and expand educational opportunities for women internationally.
