Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick Reacts to Republican Rules Package for 118th Congress

Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick released the following statement today in response to Republican Rules Package for 118th Congress:

"Yesterday the incoming Republican majority put forth a proposed rules package for the 118th Congress. The package was disappointing and shortsighted, with efforts to limit women’s health care, attack abortion access, help oil companies drill and pollute, and lay the foundation for fake investigations into nonexistent scandals.

Instead of building on Democrats’ work to create a more accommodating Congress, Republican leaders are permitting their caucus's most extreme members to thwart the bipartisan progress we've accomplished in the 117th Congress. Americans overwhelmingly made it clear that they value a woman's right to choose. Still, the 118th rules package clearly indicates that Republicans are doubling down on their commitment to impose their will on the people!

As we prepare to enter the 118th Congress, we must lean into the wisdom of Justice Ruth Ginsburg who once said, “Let’s come together and work for the good of the people.”
