Rep. Joyce Beatty, who represents Ohio’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of statements on July 30, 2025, addressing topics ranging from the passing of a personal friend to healthcare policy and civic engagement.
In her first post at 14:00 UTC, Beatty shared a message regarding the loss of Dorothy Teater: “Please see my statement below on the passing of my good friend, Dorothy Teater.”
Later that day at 15:36 UTC, she reflected on the anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, voicing concerns about recent legislative developments: “60 years ago today, Medicare & Medicaid became historic wins for health care coverage. Now, Trump’s One Big Ugly Law threatens that progress, slashing Medicaid for kids, seniors, veterans & families. I’ll keep working to protect the care millions count on.”
At 19:00 UTC, Beatty highlighted her participation in an event organized by the Human Rights Campaign: “In America, we all share something powerful: hope and the courage to dream. That’s why I’m honored to join the @HRC American Dreams Tour—starting right here in Columbus!”
Joyce Beatty has served as a member of Congress since 2013 after previously holding office in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1999 to 2008. Born in Dayton in 1950 and currently residing in Columbus, she graduated from Central State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1972.
