While Republicans continue advancing harmful, anti-worker policies, I’ll keep fighting for the dignity of work.
Continue fighting for the dignity of work and oppose efforts to strip the Federal Reserve's maximum-employment mandate.
Occurrences
Evidence
On May 13, 2026, Pressley said she "vigorously oppose[d]" legislation to strip the Federal Reserve's mandate for maximum employment and argued that "the dignity of work is transformational" and that the Fed's maximum-employment mandate is essential.
The House Financial Services Committee marked up H.R. 5396, the Price Stability Act of 2025, and ordered it reported favorably by a recorded vote of 30 yeas and 21 nays. The repository also records that Pressley offered amendments to H.R. 5396, including amendments that were not agreed to and one that was ruled nongermane.
Assessments
The promise was framed as continued advocacy and opposition, not as guaranteeing defeat of the bill. In her federal House role, Pressley publicly opposed legislation stripping the Federal Reserve's maximum-employment mandate and materially engaged in the committee process through amendments during the same term. Even though the bill advanced in committee, the promised conduct was to keep fighting and oppose the effort, which the evidence supports.
