In a rebuke of House leadership, a small group of Republicans on Tuesday joined Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to reject a rule on the House floor and clear the way for a renewed effort to allow recent parents to vote by proxy.
“Today is a pretty historical day for the entire conference,” the Florida Republican said immediately following the vote. “It’s showing that the body has decided that parents deserve a voice in Washington.”
Asked about her message to GOP leadership, Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Colo., said, “Don’t f— with moms.”
