WASHINGTON D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's Gulf of America Act was favorably reported out of the House Natural Resources Committee, advancing it for a vote by the full House.

Following the favorable reporting of Congresswoman Greene's Gulf of America Act, the Congresswoman released the following statement:

"I am grateful to Chairman Westerman and the House Natural Resources Committee for favorably reporting my Gulf of America Act out of committee. My bill is an important step in codifying President Trump's America First Agenda into law.

The American people are footing the bill to protect and secure the Gulf of America's maritime waterways for commerce to be conducted. Our U.S. armed forces protect the area from any military threats from foreign countries.

It’s our gulf. The rightful name is the Gulf of America and it’s what the entire world should refer to it as.

My bill directs the Chairman of the Board on Geographic Names under the Secretary of the Interior to permanently rename all federal documents and maps within 180 days of being signed into law.

Congress has to take the Trump Agenda mandate seriously and that means acting fast to enact it. That's exactly what this bill does by codifying one of President Trump's most important executive orders into law. This prevents any possible future Democrat regime from reversing this order through executive action.

I urge my colleagues to join me to quickly pass this bill."

The bill's 16 cosponsors include Rep. Mary Miller (IL), Rep. Barry Moore (AL), Rep. Claudia Tenney (NY), Rep. Mike Collins (GA), Rep. Randy Weber (TX), Rep. Andy Ogles (TN), Rep. Mike Lawler (NY), Rep. Mike Haridopolos (FL), Rep. Greg Steube (FL), Rep. Eric Burlison (MO), Rep. Brian Babin (TX), Rep. Michael Rulli (OH), Rep. Troy Nehls (TX), Rep. Brandon Gill (TX), Rep. Nicholas Langworthy (NY), and Rep. Daniel Webster (FL).
