Last week, I took action to protect the integrity of America’s electoral system.
I voted to pass H.R. 7109, the Equal Representation Act, which requires the addition of a citizenship question to the census and ensures that only United States citizens count toward apportionment. It’s common sense, illegal immigrants and non-citizens should not be counted towards the representation of Americans in Congress. By requiring a citizenship question on the census, H.R. 7109 ensures a just Congressional apportionment based on the equal representation of U.S. citizens.
The integrity of our elections and representation of American voters in their government should not be a partisan issue.
I am committed to ensuring that our electoral system is honest and secure and will continue to support legislation that ensures only American citizens have a say in the direction of our country.
