Richmond Comments on Latest Voting Rights Act Proposal | 2014-02-20 | 2014 | 2014-02 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. - Congressman Cedric Richmond (LA-02) released the following statement after the introduction of the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014: "While this is not a perfect bill, it reflects hard work and bi-partisan, bi-cameral compromise to strengthen the protections of the Voting Rights Act. I was proud to be a part of the working group of democrats that helped formulate this bill and I commend Congressman Sensenbrenner who has been a republican leader on this issue. Additionally, I commend my good friends Congressmen Conyers and Lewis for their wise counsel and leadership. I am certain this proposal will pass constitutional muster and restore necessary protections for all Americans as an election year is upon us. I look forward to continued work with my colleagues to ensure that the strongest possible protections are passed into law in an expeditious fashion in order to protect the most fundamental constitutional right in our democracy." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
