 Freshman Congressman Pushing Anti-Corruption Legislation
Posted By Brent Scher On January 14, 2017 @ 5:00 am In Issues | No Comments

One of the newest members in Congress has spent the past decade and a half rising to the top of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s political corruption unit, and he is wasting no time putting his know-how to work through legislation.

On the day that Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R., Penn.) was sworn into office he introduced a package of anti-corruption legislation that would change the way Congress operates. In his first speech on the House floor on Thursday, he urged members on both sides of the aisle to join his newly created Congressional Citizen Legislature Caucus, which he hopes will emerge as a prime venue for reform measures.

Yep, and that is a tiny step in the right direction.
