What they stand for
Pettersen has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Supports protections for manufactured housing residentsPettersen sponsored the Manufactured Housing Tenant's Bill of Rights Act of 2025 (HR.2461), a bill that has been reintroduced multiple times and currently has five cosponsors in committee. The legislation addresses tenant protections specifically for residents of manufactured housing communities, a segment of the housing market distinct from traditional rental or homeownership arrangements.
- 02Backs wildfire resilience and post-disaster recovery measuresPettersen sponsored the Strengthening Wildfire Resiliency Through Satellites Act of 2025 (HR.527), which addresses the use of satellite technology in wildfire response, and the Post-Disaster Reforestation and Restoration Act (HR.528), focused on land recovery following wildfires and other disasters. She also sponsored the Natural Disaster Property Protection Act of 2025 (HR.1093), directed at property protections for homeowners in disaster-affected areas.
- 03Supports retirement security for caregivers and young workersPettersen sponsored the Helping Young Americans Save for Retirement Act (HR.4718), the Improving Retirement Security for Family Caregivers Act of 2026 (HR.8274), and the Catching Up Family Caregivers Act of 2026 (HR.8273). These bills address retirement savings access and catch-up mechanisms for individuals whose caregiving responsibilities have affected their ability to accumulate retirement savings.
- 04Addresses technology regulation and financial accountabilityPettersen sponsored the Preventing Deep Fake Scams Act (HR.1734), a reintroduced bill with eleven cosponsors targeting fraudulent use of deepfake technology, and the Stopping Bonuses for Unsafe and Unsound Banking Act (HR.6705), which addresses executive compensation practices at financial institutions. She also sponsored the VALID Act of 2025 (HR.3694), which has 87 cosponsors in committee.
- 05Supported domestic semiconductor manufacturing legislationOn the Building Chips in America Act of 2023 (S.2228), Pettersen voted yes on final passage. This vote was recorded as against her party's majority position. The bill, which became law, addressed domestic semiconductor production and supply chain considerations.
