The Bill
Voters will now have more clarity on their congressional representatives' track records of sexual harassment, thanks to a unanimous vote across party lines on June 30. Rep. Anna Luna (R-FL-13) did not vote, and according to records, she has missed 43 votes.
The resolution will direct the ethics committee to publicly release records related to monetary settlements concerning acts of sexual harassment. (Currently, the ethics committee is able to keep such settlement records private.) The measure passed overwhelmingly with 420 votes in favor. Republicans supported the measure 209-0, while Democrats voted 210-0 in favor. One independent also voted yes. Only two Democrats and eight Republicans, including Luna, did not vote, and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) voted "present."
June 30's vote follows the resignations of Reps. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA) earlier this year, after the two were accused of sexual misconduct.
Luna serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, where she chairs the Declassification of Federal Secrets Task Force. She has served in Congress for approximately 2 years and 10 months. During her tenure, Luna has introduced 35 bills and cosponsored 292 others. She has also worked across party lines on select issues, including teaming up with Democrats on a measure allowing 12 weeks of remote voting for new mothers and fathers.
