Pfluger Votes Against Democrat Election Reform Power-Grab
Tonight (March 3rd), Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) voted against H.R.1, a sweeping election-reform bill that federalizes our election system, sends taxpayer dollars to congressional and presidential campaigns, and makes temporary pandemic-related election practices permanent. The bill is given the distinction of being called ‘House Resolution 1’ because it is the Democrat Party’s number one priority. Congressman Pfluger released a statement following his no vote:
“The integrity of our election system could not be more important,” said Congressman Pfluger. “Unfortunately, my Democrat colleagues have put forward a hyper-partisan bill that further undermines America’s faith in our election system. This 800-page bill is a twisted conglomerate of policies meant to consolidate power in Washington, DC and fully cement the swamp. It will ban state voter ID laws, fund political candidates, expand unreliable voting practices like ballot harvesting and paper ballots, and even mandate that violent felons must be allowed to vote. We can all agree that we need common-sense reforms to strengthen our election system, but H.R.1 does just the opposite.”
Pfluger on FOX: “We want him back”
This morning (March 4th), Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) joined Trevor Reed’s parents Paula and Joey Reed on Fox News with Bill Hemmer to bring awareness to Trevor’s unfounded detainment in Russia and call for his immediate release.
During the segment, Congressman Pfluger said, “It is 566 days that Trevor has been held falsely as a political pawn. This week, I introduced a resolution with 25 Members of Congress—Senator Cornyn has also done so in the Senate—and we are demanding an immediate release so he can unify with his parents. They are using him as a political pawn in a false trial that has no merit, and we want him back.”
Yesterday, Congressman Pfluger, Ranking Member McCaul, and Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy introduced a resolution with bipartisan support calling for the Putin Regime to release Trevor, a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran and Granbury resident, who was sentenced to nine years in a Russian prison under false allegations.
