Model Christy Turlington Burns traded the catwalk for Capitol Hill on Thursday as she pushed for high quality maternal and child healthcare while meeting with Rep. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.).
Turlington Burns, the former face of Calvin Klein, is the founder of Every Mother Counts, which works to end preventable deaths caused by pregnancy and childbirth.
McCollum’s office says the 44-year-old fashionista and the congresswoman also discussed the Senate's passage earlier that day of the Violence Against Women Act.
The runway regular, wearing a dress and gray sweater, took time to pose for a photo with McCollum and her staff.
