Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I am grateful that the House of Representatives is taking a stand to protect women and girls in this country and to ensure that they continue to have access to athletic opportunities at school. I strongly support the Protecting Women and Girls in Sports Act. My amendment strengthens the underlying bill by protecting schools from a weaponized bureaucracy and frivolous lawsuits as they work to comply with the intentions of the bill. Many schools provide a wide range of programs and activities to support their student athletes. This amendment ensures that schools can continue to provide a range of resources exclusively or preferentially to members of an athletic team without worrying about activist bureaucrats or opportunistic trial lawyers targeting them with disingenuous arguments about what constitutes an athletic program or activity. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.”
