Defending the First Amendment
|
Following the Supreme Court's recent decision on same sex marriage, House Republicans are taking steps to protect the religious liberty of all Americans, including those who believe in traditional marriage.
I joined together with dozens of my colleagues to cosponsor the First Amendment Defense Act (H.R. 2802), legislation that would prevent the federal government from discriminating against any individual or group who believes that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.
Americans have a constitutional right to live out their religious or moral beliefs without fear of discrimination. This right is at the core of our Republic, and I am committed to defending it in Congress.

H.R. 91, the Veterans Identification Card Act |
One of the biggest frustrations I hear from veterans across the Second District is the lack of a standard veteran identification card. Under current law, if you are not eligible to receive a VA-issued ID card, your DD-214 form is the only way to prove your veteran status. But this document contains highly sensitive information, and carrying it around puts our veterans at great risk for identify theft.
That's why I supported H.R. 91, the Veterans Identification Card Act, a bipartisan bill that allows all veterans to receive ID cards through the VA at no cost to taxpayers. The bill passed both the House and the Senate unanimously, and now awaits the President's signature.

Equity Act
This bill would increase access to care for millions of veterans by moving podiatrists into the Physician and Dentist pay schedules, enabling the VA to better recruit and retain experienced podiatrists.
