Today, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the bipartisanJustice Against Corruption on K Street(JACK) Act with a 391-0 vote, sending it to President Trump's desk.TheJACK Actwould amend theLobbying Disclosure Actto require lobbyists to disclose if they have ever been convicted of bribery, extortion, embezzlement, illegal kickbacks, tax evasion, or money laundering. Congressman Biggs released the following statement: I'm thankful for this bill's passage, and I hope that President Trump will soon sign this legislation. This is a common-sense policy to continue our quest to drain the Washington, D.C. swamp. Lobbyists should never be able to hide convictions for serious crimes like bribery, extortion, and embezzlement when lobbying Congress. I was pleased to work with Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and Senator John Kennedy, who introduced the bill in the Senate, to pass this bill through Congress. ### Congressman Andy Biggs is a first-term Representative from Arizona's Fifth Congressional District, representing parts of Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, and Queen Creek.
