Veterans Accessibility Advisory Committee Act of 2025

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of S. 1383, the SAVE America Act, which I am proud to cosponsor and hope will pass the House floor today.

I also note that I think it is shockingly racist and sexist for my colleagues on the other side to believe that we are not smart enough to figure out how to get IDs. I can assure my colleagues that we are, even if we get married.

The SAVE America Act requires individuals to provide documented proof of U.S. citizenship along with a valid photo ID when registering to vote. This commonsense legislation strengthens election integrity through practical measures, including voter ID requirements and safeguards to prevent noncitizens from voting.

The SAVE America Act is particularly important as we continue to address the consequences of the Biden-Harris border crisis, which led to millions of individuals entering the country unlawfully.

Secure elections are fundamental to maintaining public confidence in our democratic process. The State of Wyoming has already taken steps to implement many of the reforms outlined in this bill, demonstrating that securing our elections must be a national priority.

I thank the bill's sponsors, Representative Roy and Senator Lee, as well as Chairman Steil, for their leadership on this critical issue.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in voting in favor of the SAVE America Act.
