As a proud member of the House Armed Services Committee, I take seriously my responsibility to ensure that our servicemembers get the support they need to keep our Nation safe. Once again, Republicans are pushing poison pill amendments…
it is quite disturbing to me to listen to some of the allegations that are going on but, more importantly, the concerted, intentional effort... to actually well-fund efforts to subvert the will of the people for the 2024 election.
Through the Committee's jurisdiction over the administration, all Federal elections, we have a solemn duty to preserve, protect, and defend the sanctity of American democracy.
I am a very strong supporter of AGOA, and I really appreciate our conversation today has heightened the fact that it is a bipartisan and bicameral support for renewal of AGOA.
