The Scalise Capitol Report

We Must Protect the Integrity of the American Vote

Every American citizen ought to know that when they vote, their vote is not going to be nullified by someone here illegally voting when they're not supposed to. It is common sense to prevent illegal immigrants from accessing ballots, and I question why Democrats would be opposed to legislation to address this issue if they claim to be against illegal immigrants voting.

That's why I am an original cosponsor of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which requires individuals to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. This is an important bill to ensure the integrity of the vote. Despite 198 Democrats voting against this bill, I’m pleased to share it passed the House this week.

Protecting the Integrity of Women's Sports

In April of this year, President Biden’s Department of Education finalized a Title IX rule that threatens to destroy protections for women’s sports and put young women and girls at risk by allowing biological male athletes on women’s teams and in their locker rooms and bathrooms.

This week, I voted to reverse this Biden-era regulation that eviscerates Title IX and protect the integrity of women's sports.

Congressional Art Competition Winner

Recently, I announced Hannah Bradley, a junior at Mandeville High School, as the winner of the 2024 Congressional Art Competition for Louisiana’s First Congressional District. Her artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year alongside the work of other winning artists from across the country.

Hannah’s artwork colorfully captures the spirit of Mardi Gras that unites us all and serves as a universal symbol of Louisiana. I am proud that such a rich symbol of our culture is on display in our nation’s Capitol for visitors from all across America to see.

Meeting with Maritime Leaders

From the Mississippi River to Port Fourchon, the maritime community in Southeast Louisiana keeps our state and our country’s economies moving. In fact, Louisiana’s First Congressional District supports the most maritime jobs in the entire nation.

I recently convened a roundtable of local maritime industry leaders to discuss ways to support these highly-skilled positions and a thriving industrial base in Louisiana.

It is an honor to represent you in Congress. For more information, please visit my website, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages.

God Bless
