LaMalfa Opposes Partisan Messaging Bill

LaMalfa said: "Since 1994, the Violence Against Women Act has been a powerful tool to help protect women from domestic violence. It's unfortunate that Democrat leadership intentionally allowed it to expire earlier this year in an attempt to pack it with partisan policies, such as gun control and allowing biological males into women's shelters, rather than a simple reauthorization of the law. They have taken a straightforward bill and turned it into a partisan wish list. The process has also been atrocious – it was referred to seven House committees, but only considered in one. In many ways, this bill would actually harm the very women and girls we're trying to protect in the first place. I hope the Senate will strip this bill of unnecessary partisan provisions and send a straightforward reauthorization back to the House that everyone would gladly support."
