The short version

Jill N. Tokuda helped women and families in all 8 votes we track.

What helped most

  • Voted for a bigger Child Tax Credit.

    What it means for herShe's raising two kids alone on a low-wage job. Because the credit grows with earnings, she gets less of it than families who earn more. This bill would have raised the credit for about 16 million children in families like hers in its first year. Source: Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 2024

  • Voted against the 2025 law that cut Medicaid.

    What it means for herShe's 24, works part-time in Ohio with no insurance from her job, and hopes to have a baby someday. Medicaid pays for about 4 in 10 U.S. births. Starting in 2027 in most states, she must show 80 hours of work a month. If a slow month or a lost form cuts her off, she loses coverage before she is even pregnant. Source: KFF, 2025

  • Voted against adding prison time for health workers to a born-alive law that already exists.

    What it means for herShe's 22 weeks pregnant and just learned her baby has a fatal condition. Only 1.1% of U.S. abortions happen at 21 weeks or later. If her baby is born alive after an abortion, this bill would make her doctor send the baby to a hospital right away, even if it cannot survive, or face up to five years in prison.

How we count

We wrote down which bills and nominations count, and why, before we scored anyone. A vote counts as hurting women and families when it takes away care, coverage, safety or rights, and as helping when it protects them. A missed vote never counts against anyone. Money and court cases are shown, but never change the grade.
