Lucia's Positions on Key Issues

Economy

High

Representative Lucy McBath, in collaboration with the New Democrat Coalition, unveiled the Affordability Agenda in February 2026. This initiative aims to reduce living costs by focusing on health care, housing, energy, family care, and household essentials, with the goal of helping working families get ahead. She voted to replenish funding for small business loans in April 2020 and supported the bipartisan CARES Act, providing COVID-19 relief. Additionally, she supported the USMCA Trade Deal and advocated for highway funding in Georgia.

Across Georgia, families are working hard and still struggling as the costs of living continue to rise faster than paychecks,” said Rep. McBath. “Too many people are forced to choose between groceries, health care, housing, and keeping the lights on. This Affordability Agenda is about delivering real solutions that lower everyday costs and put working families first. Every family deserves a fair shot at the American dream.” (Lucy McBath, McBath, New Dems Unveil Affordability Agenda to Address the Cost of Living Crisis, February 11, 2026)

Immigration

Medium

Lucia McBath joined three other House Judiciary Committee Democrats in writing a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, requesting the rescission of a memo that permits immigration agents to enter homes without a judicial warrant. She also opposed the presence of DHS agents at polling places in 2026, advocating for legislation to prevent such actions and emphasizing the protection of voter rights.

Healthcare

High

Representative Lucia McBath advocates for affordable and accessible healthcare, driven by her personal experience as a breast cancer survivor. She partnered to cap insulin costs for seniors at $35/month and works to protect those with pre-existing conditions. McBath voted against the "One Big, Beautiful" megabill and would have voted against H.R. 6703, citing concerns about rising costs and cuts to Medicaid. She champions legislation supporting domestic violence survivors and pregnant mothers.

"I was not able to be present in Washington due to an urgent health matter with my husband, Curtis. We appreciate the well wishes from those near and far. If I had been able to vote remotely today, I would have voted NO. The Republican-led legislation before the House does not address the rising costs of health care that are burdening American families. As a two-time breast cancer survivor navigating additional health challenges in my own family, I know firsthand how access, affordability, and care determine outcomes. As always, I am committed to working across the aisle on solutions that make health care more affordable and accessible for the American people." — Rep. Lucy McBath, Statement on H.R. 6703, December 17, 2025

Climate & Energy

High

Congresswoman McBath supports addressing climate change and securing a sustainable energy future, emphasizing clean water and air for future generations. She co-sponsored and voted for legislation to keep the United States in the Paris Climate Accords and has also voted to protect national parks. She advocates for increased investments in sustainable energy and incentives for homeowners using renewable energy sources.

In Congress, I am proud to have co-sponsored and voted for legislation to ensure the United States stays in the Paris Climate Accords. I have also voted in favor of protecting our nation’s national parks. We must continue to increase our investments in sustainable energy while taking steps to protect our environment.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

High

Lucia McBath supports reproductive rights and abortion access, advocating for women's choice. She has spoken against anti-abortion policies and participated in a reproductive freedom rally endorsing Kamala Harris's campaign, which frames abortion rights as fundamental to freedom. McBath states that the nation can either roll back women's rights and liberty or be a nation where every woman can make her own choice regarding reproductive care.

We have a choice: We can be the nation that rolls back the clock, that rolls back the rights of women and that strips them of their very liberty, or we can be the nation of choice, the nation where every woman can make her own choice. Freedom is our right to choose." — REP. LUCY McBATH, speaking on Wednesday on the House Judiciary Committee hearings on abortion access, as reported by Democracy Now! on May 20, 2022.

Education

High

Lucia McBath, a member of the Committee on Education and Labor, prioritizes ensuring the education system works for all students and that teachers have necessary resources. She advocated for the release of $7 billion in withheld education funding by the Trump Administration, emphasizing that federal funds are crucial for students, including those with disabilities, and that states have varying financial capacities. She also led a bill in 2024 requiring hazing reporting on college campuses.

“I am deeply relieved that schools and students will finally receive the full funding they are counting on. This money is critical for teachers, classrooms, and the millions of children who rely on these programs to succeed. This is a victory for those who care for and educate future generations,”said Rep. Lucy McBath.“The Trump Administration’s delay put the success of our students in serious jeopardy. Districts were left in limbo, forced to plan without knowing if they’d have the resources to keep staff or offer basic educational services. That is a disservice to the American people. Their children should never be caught up in political games.”
