Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Guest voted against H. Res. 965, also known as the Proxy Voting Scheme 2.0, a resolution to implement proxy voting in the U.S. House of Representatives, and H.R. 6800, also known as Pelosi's Socialist Wish List Act.

"I returned to Washington this week to vote against Nancy Pelosi's liberal wish-list, a $3 trillion spending bill that would fundamentally alter our elections, provide a bailout to unstable pension plans, release criminals from prisons, provide protections and payments to illegal aliens, and encourage individuals not to return to work as we reopen our economy," Guest said. "Democrats have referred to this crisis as an opportunity to make liberal policies. They are wrong. This is a time for Americans to come together to fight against this challenge and to work to return our nation to normal. Instead, Democrats view this crisis as a chance to push through their agenda and pass sweeping reforms by introducing proxy voting in the House. Since the founding of our nation, Representatives have come together to debate the merits of proposed legislation and cast their own votes in the Chamber. This has been a foundational part of our successful democracy. My fellow Republicans and I want to work for the American people, not use this time to undermine the integrity of one of our nation's greatest institutions."
