Legislative Activity

The Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025 imposes a one-year moratorium on federal funding for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, its affiliates, and its clinics unless they certify that they will not perform abortions. The bill redirects these funds to community health centers to ensure continued access to women’s health services. It includes specific exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening medical conditions.

The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Act of 2025 reauthorizes critical funding for the protection and restoration of the Great Lakes ecosystem. This legislation secures $500 million annually from fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to support ongoing environmental recovery efforts.

The Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg Congressional Gold Medal Act authorizes the award of a Congressional Gold Medal to Jens Stoltenberg in recognition of his distinguished leadership as NATO Secretary General. The bill honors his pivotal role in strengthening the Alliance, fostering international unity, and advancing global security. It also provides for the production and sale of bronze duplicates of the medal.

The Georgian Nightmare Non-Recognition Act prohibits the United States from recognizing or normalizing relations with any Georgian government led by Bidzina Ivanishvili or his proxies due to ongoing corruption and foreign influence. The bill mandates the use of sanctions to counter the regime's alignment with Russia, Iran, and the Chinese Communist Party while officially recognizing the pre-election leadership as the country's legitimate authority. This policy remains in effect until Georgia restores its constitutional order through free and fair, internationally certified elections.
