Fighting to Block Taxpayer-Funded January 6 Settlement Payments

Government Reform

◐ Partial

The Promise

"I will work to restrict any taxpayer-funded slush fund that could compensate pardoned January 6 rioters — I was in the Capitol that day and saw firsthand the consequences when leaders abuse their power."

The Record

Rep. Frankel co-sponsored two bills in May 2026 aimed at halting the Trump administration's $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization' settlement fund: the No Taxpayer-Funded Settlement Slush Funds Act, which would bar Treasury Judgment Fund payments to the President, Vice President, their families, or political appointees; and the SLUSH FUND Act, which would require full disclosure of any payments and tax them at 100%. The fund was created via a DOJ-negotiated settlement of Trump v. IRS and has drawn criticism for potentially compensating pardoned January 6 defendants. As of May 28, 2026, with Republicans holding the House majority, neither bill has advanced to a floor vote, and a Senate counterpart effort was also blocked by Republicans.

Advancing Equal Pay Legislation and Recognition

Economy & Taxes

⊘ Blocked

The Promise

"This year, a woman had to work an additional 64 days just to earn what a man earned last year — and this gap is much worse for women of color. Democrats will continue to fight to end wage discrimination and close the wage gap once and for all."

The Record

Rep. Frankel introduced H.Con.Res.81 on March 26, 2026, in the 119th Congress, recognizing March 26, 2026, as Equal Pay Day and highlighting wage disparities showing women earn 81 cents for every dollar paid to men full-time. The resolution drew 140 Democratic cosponsors and was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. This is part of Frankel's multi-Congress pattern of introducing Equal Pay Day resolutions; she has done so in at least the 117th, 118th, and 119th Congresses. As a concurrent resolution it carries no binding legal force, and the Paycheck Fairness Act — the substantive legislation Frankel supports — remains blocked in the Republican-controlled House as of May 28, 2026.

Defending Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Access for Florida Patients

Healthcare

◐ Partial

The Promise

"I will push to protect the Ryan White AIDS Drug Assistance Program for Floridians living with HIV or AIDS and hold the state accountable for cuts that amount to a death sentence for those who lose access to care."

News Source View Source ↗

The Record

In January 2026, Rep. Frankel and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz publicly condemned Florida Gov. DeSantis's decision to slash the Ryan White AIDS Drug Assistance Program eligibility from 400% to 130% of the federal poverty level, a change effective March 1, 2026, expected to strip coverage from approximately 15,000–16,000 of the roughly 32,000 Floridians enrolled. Frankel called the move 'not just inhumane — it's dumb' and stated that Congress was preparing to approve $2.5 billion in Ryan White funding. She demanded a federal HHS investigation into Florida's administration of the program, noting no prior request for additional support was made by the DeSantis administration before the eligibility cuts were imposed. As of May 28, 2026, no federal legislative remedy reversing the Florida DOH policy has been enacted, with broader federal Medicaid cuts in 2025 further straining the HIV care continuum nationwide.

Gun Control Legislation Following Mass Shootings

Public Safety

⊘ Blocked

The Promise

"I promised her mother I'd leave the photo there until we pass gun control."

News Source View Source ↗

The Record

Rep. Frankel made a personal pledge circa 2015 to keep a photo of a Sandy Hook victim in her office until Congress passes gun control legislation. The photo commitment itself remains ongoing (i.e., she has not removed it, consistent with no comprehensive gun reform having passed). On the legislative front, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — a bipartisan gun safety bill — was signed into law in June 2022, representing the most significant federal gun reform in decades, though it fell short of the comprehensive measures Frankel has championed such as assault weapons bans. Since Republicans regained the House majority after the 2022 midterms and held it through 2026, no further major gun legislation has advanced. Frankel has continued to advocate for stricter measures, but comprehensive federal gun control remains stalled as of May 28, 2026.
