that’s why I co-founded the Black Maternal Health Caucus and why I’m fighting for the Momnibus, a package of 14 bills focused on improving maternal health outcomes and closing the disparity gap.
Will fight for the Momnibus package to improve maternal health outcomes.
Occurrences
I’m fighting for the Momnibus, a package of 14 bills focused on improving maternal health outcomes and closing the disparity gap.
Successfully pushed to include the Momnibus (H.R. 959 / S.346) in President Biden’s Build Back Better Act which will now provide more than $1.1 billion to address the maternal health crisis.
That is why I am cosponsoring the momnibus, a package of 14 bills that aims to address the root causes of maternal health challenges, provide support to mothers, and study how we can build a better system for every American family in need of care. The Black Maternal Health Caucus has fought for this legislation for years. We will not stop until it becomes law. It must become law now.
we need Congress to stand up and take real action by passing the Kira Johnson Act
The Momnibus is the solution. Congress must make the safety and health of our moms a priority and get this bill passed into law.
Evidence
Representatives Lauren Underwood and Alma Adams, along with Senator Cory Booker, reintroduced the Momnibus, describing it as 14 bills that comprehensively address every driver of maternal mortality, morbidity, and disparities in the United States.
Assessments
The promise was to fight for the Momnibus package, not necessarily to enact it. The evidence shows Alma Adams reintroduced the Momnibus in the current term alongside other sponsors, which is direct legislative action squarely matching the commitment to advocate for and advance the package. Because the promised action was undertaken while in office during the same term, this counts as delivered with same-term timing.
Adams promised to fight for the Momnibus package, not necessarily to secure full enactment. As a federal representative, her reintroduction of the Momnibus with Rep. Underwood and Sen. Booker in March 2026 is direct legislative action materially advancing the promised package during her current term, so the campaign commitment is fulfilled on its own terms.
