Trent Franks Votes to Fully Repeal Obamacare
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02) today joined his Republican House colleagues in voting by a 244-185 margin in favor of fully repealing Obamacare. Franks released the following statement:
"I'm encouraged today to see the House of Representatives fulfill its intended role as the body closest to, and most 'representative' of, the American people.
"House Republicans are delivering on their promise to do everything possible to prevent Obamacare, including continuing to work to defund the fatally flawed law.
"The American people have been unmistakably clear in rejecting the notion of a socialized health care system, but have been unceremoniously ignored by this Administration. But make no mistake: President Obama has had his say; the Supreme Court has had its say; and the American people will have their say this November."
Congressman Franks is serving his fifth term in the U.S. House of Representatives and is a member of the Judiciary Committee, where he serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and a member of the Subcommittee on Courts, Commercial and Administrative Law. He is also a member of the Armed Services Committee, where he serves on the Strategic Forces Subcommittee and the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities.
