We voted yes on H. Res. 901 to show our support for democracy and human rights in Pakistan.

By supporting this resolution, we signal our commitment to American values globally.
H.R. 7152 – Korean American Divided Families National Registry Act:
We voted yes on H.R. 7152 to support Korean American families separated by the Korean War. This bill creates a voluntary registry for those seeking to reunite with relatives in North Korea. It ensures that U.S. diplomatic efforts include family reunions in future talks with North Korea. The bill also mandates regular reports to Congress on the registry's progress and the response from North Korea. This effort helps address the emotional and humanitarian needs of divided families.
H.R. 2789 – American Cooperation With Our Neighbors Act:
We voted yes on H.R. 2789 to enhance cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico in fighting drug trafficking. This bill directs the Secretary of State to develop strategies for increased collaboration in law enforcement, data sharing, and technical assistance. It also includes measures to boost financial opportunities for Caribbean nations. While there are concerns about cooperation levels on border issues, this bill aims to improve coordination to combat fentanyl and other illicit drug trafficking. Strengthening these partnerships is crucial for regional security and public health.
Biggs (R-AZ) – Amendment No. 4:

Ogles (R-TN) – Amendment No. 43:

Ogles (R-TN) – Amendment No. 45:
We voted yes to prohibit funds for the Deferred Enforced Departure for Certain Palestinians. This policy allows Palestinians to stay in the U.S. and obtain work permits, which we find inappropriate given the current context of antisemitic protests.

Tenney (R-NY) – Amendment No. 63:

Tenney (R-NY) – Amendment No. 64:
We voted yes to prohibit funds for the salary or reinstatement of Robert Malley, due to his controversial role in the Iran deal and perceived bias against Israel. This amendment ensures that U.S. interests are protected.
