Brownley has spent years focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.

• 01
  Veterans deserve expanded VA health care accessBrownley has sponsored multiple bills to broaden health care benefits available through the Department of Veterans Affairs, including measures to extend dental care (HR.210, HR.2413), contraception coverage (HR.211), infertility treatment (HR.220), and menopause care (HR.219) to eligible veterans. She also sponsored the Have You Served Act (HR.5995) to improve identification of veterans who may need VA services, and the VA CPE Modernization Act (HR.657) to update VA health professional training.
• 02
  Reproductive health care access for veteransBrownley sponsored the Reproductive Freedom for Veterans Act (HR.4876), which would expand reproductive health care options for veterans within the VA system, and introduced a congressional disapproval resolution (HJRES.144) regarding a related federal rule. She has also reintroduced the Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act (HR.211) and the Veterans Infertility Treatment Act (HR.220), sustaining a consistent legislative focus on reproductive health benefits for those who have served.
• 03
  Firearm safety awareness and gun suicide preventionBrownley sponsored House resolutions expressing support for the designation of "National Firearm Safety Day" in both 2024 and 2025 (HRES.1432, HRES.684). She also introduced the Gun Suicide Prevention Act of 2025 (HR.5306), which addresses the intersection of firearm access and suicide risk. These actions reflect a sustained engagement with legislative efforts related to firearm safety.

  Homeowner financial protection from disasters and debtBrownley sponsored the Protecting Homeowners from Disaster Act of 2025 (HR.481), which addresses financial protections for homeowners affected by disasters, and the Mortgage Debt Tax Forgiveness Act of 2025 (HR.917), which would provide tax relief to homeowners who receive forgiveness on mortgage debt. Both measures address economic vulnerabilities facing homeowners, particularly in disaster-prone regions.
