Madam Speaker, I rise today in celebration of House passage of H.R. 28, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. Sports have always been more than just a game. They are an opportunity for growth that teaches discipline, teamwork, and resilience. Involvement in sports opens doors, fosters lifelong friendships, and inspires confidence in young adults across this country. Unfortunately, due to radical policies implemented by the Biden- Harris administration and other far-left politicians nationwide, women and girls are losing critical protections that were afforded to them when Title IX was signed into law more than 50 years ago. We owe it to the millions of young women and girls striving to reach their fullest potential, both on and off the field, who deserve fairness and safety. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act honors the commitment we made through Title IX, defends the principle of fair competition, and ensures that athletes can compete in categories that reflect their biological realities. I am proud to support this legislation today on the House floor, and I urge my Senate colleagues to pass it as well. ____________________
