On March 25, 2025, Mfume acknowledged National Medal of Honor Day through a tweet recognizing the valor of military personnel. He announced his initiative in Congress to honor Navy sailor Mess with both a Medal of Honor and a Congressional Gold Medal: “Today, #America celebrates #NationalMedalofHonorDay. The Medal of Honor is the United States’ highest award for military valor in action… In the #Congress, I introduced legislation to award both the #MedalofHonor and a #CongressionalGoldMedal to #Navy sailor and cook: Mess”
Later that day on March 25th, Mfume addressed wage disparity between men and women in America by supporting legislative efforts for equal pay. As an original cosponsor of Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro’s Paycheck Fairness Act aimed at closing wage gaps, he stated: “Today, women make on average only 75 cents for every dollar men make… That is why I am an original cosponsor of Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro’s Paycheck Fairness Act to finally close”
