Joyce Beatty, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Ohio's 3rd district, has recently shared a series of statements on social media addressing various national and community issues. Beatty, who succeeded Mike Turner in 2013 and has been active in public service since her time in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1999 to 2008, expressed her views on significant topics including a recent attack, a period of reflection, and budgetary concerns.

On June 2, 2025, Beatty commented on a violent incident by urging followers to "Please see my statement on the hateful attack targeting the Jewish community in Boulder, Colorado." The nature of this message underscores her engagement with matters affecting communities nationwide.

Later that day, she tweeted about an observance period saying "Honoring this sacred time of reflection, renewal, and revelation. May we all draw strength from the enduring power of faith, resilience, and community." This reflects her emphasis on unity and spiritual resilience.

On June 3, Beatty criticized former President Trump's budget proposal through social media. She remarked that while Trump describes it as “beautiful,” it is detrimental as "Over 400,000 Ohioans could lose health care," with additional cuts to food aid for vulnerable groups. She concluded with a pledge to continue advocating for better outcomes for Ohioans.

Joyce Beatty was born in Dayton in 1950 and resides in Columbus. A graduate of Central State University with a BA earned in 1972, she remains committed to serving her constituents' needs.
