This set of policies provides a roadmap to secure America\u2019s elections. The slate he announced today centers on his bill, the Freedom from Intimidation in Elections Act, which would enshrine into law the rights of voters and election workers to freely exercise their duties and right to vote without threat of violence.\n\n\u201cAs I said when I launched this Defend Democracy Agenda: I love this country, and I remain as committed to it today as I was at 17 when I entered the Naval Academy,\u201d said Congressman Deluzio. \u201cAll of us have a part to play in this democracy of ours. In the face of political violence and attacks on the rule of law, Congress must strengthen the sanctity of our elections. With the introduction of the last section of this agenda, we have a clear to-do list of the things we can\u2014and should\u2014do to defend democracy. Let\u2019s get it done.\u201d\n\nCongressman Deluzio\u2019s plan to Protect Voters and Election Workers is the third installment in his three-part Defend Democracy Agenda to defend American democracy from the threat of rising political violence and attacks on democracy. This announcement follows Congressman Deluzio\u2019s roll outs of the first and second parts of his agenda earlier this year. These slates focused on earning public trust and strengthening and enhancing voting rights, respectively.\n\nLast week, Congressman Deluzio joined Senator Alex Padilla and other voting rights advocates to highlight the Freedom from Intimidation in Elections Act. The bill has support from a large number of advocacy organizations.
