Congressman Davis comes out against H.R. 30

Washington DC- The House brought H.R 30 to the House floor for a debate. H.R 30 is a bill that eliminates the states' rights to become a right to work state. It has received some backlash from the House GOP and support from House Democrats. Congressman Davis came out against the bill on the house floor, as he believes it is an overreach of power the federal government. You ca. watch his house floor speech below: 

Quote

Mr. Speaker,

 

I find this bill to be wrong. States have the absolute right to declare itself a right to work state if it so desires. This is just the new majority trying to shove it's big government ideas down our throats and harming America in the process. Mr. Speaker, I motion to table the bill.

 

I yield

He received some debate by a House Democrat who supported the bill. You can also watch his response down below: 

Quote

Mr. Speaker,

 

It's also rather amusing that the gentleman from West Virginia's party isn't violating state rights, but in the bill's PES, it states that it will deny the states right to pass a right to work law. The gentleman from West Virginia has this bill all wrong. We aren't taking away the right to form and join a union, we are just fighting this bill that will deny states right to become a right to work state. That is why we are against, or I am at least. 

 

I yield

Press Releases go here.

Senator Harrison Wright:

"Well I haven't heard much of him in the news lately other than the inauguration. I'm ready to work with President Grayson and get stuff done in this Congress, but with him being so "closed doors" about everything, it's kinda hard to work with him. Hopefully he is ready to create jobs in this nation and defend our 2nd amendment. I doubt he will since he is a liberal, but I have been surprised before and he can very well do that."

I love this album, and this is my favorite song off the album:

Wright on the Recent Election Results.

Key West, Florida- Senator Wright is spending his election break in Key West this week to work in his state office. He also spent the election night at his home in Key West to watch the results.

Quote

"I'm excited to start this new session and have bills that I plan on introducing once the new session starts. I'm a little disappointed in the outcome in the election, but I do accept the results and willing to work with the current president-elect to get much needed legislation passed through the Senate and get into law. I'm also glad there was no major compromises to the election process and I would like to thank everyone who went out to vote and my your voices heard. I would also like to congratulate President-elect Grayson and Congressman Fong on running two great campaigns. I'm ready to get back to work for the great state of Florida and have this session start."
