E-mail Print PDF

E-mail Print PDF
U. S. Senator Tom Udall (D-N.M.) called for the Senate to consider the House-passed “For the People Act.”  On July 23, Udall became the lead sponsor of the Act and called on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans to stop obstructing critical efforts to secure American elections and prevent foreign interference before the 2020 elections.
