Fletcher ends by reaffirming her commitment to build on this important work, and to deliver meaningful results for Texas’ Seventh Congressional District.
Active on issues important to the district’s diverse and dynamic community, Congresswoman Fletcher is Whip of the Pro-Choice Caucus, a Vice Chair of the Equality Caucus, and Chair of the New Democrat Coalition Trade Task Force. She is a member of several other coalitions, including among them the Voting Rights Caucus, the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, and the Black Maternal Health Caucus, where she works to pass legislation that matters to Houstonians.
