Daniel Webster U.S. House of Representatives from Florida | Official U.S. House Headshot
Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, issued a statement regarding his vote to pass H.R. 9494, the Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, which includes the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act).
“I hate and almost never support continuing resolutions, but given Biden-Harris’ open borders we must ensure illegals cannot register to vote in our elections,” said Rep. Webster. "I voted for this bill today because it prevents another last minute bloated omnibus bill that would tie the hands of a future Trump Administration, all while addressing the need to secure our elections."
“It’s simple, only American citizens should be able to vote in American elections. The SAVE Act would protect the integrity of our elections by removing non-citizens from existing voter rolls and ensure that documentary proof of citizenship is obtained when registering to vote in federal elections."
“While I’m pleased that this legislation included funding for critical priorities, including defense, veterans’ services, and disaster relief, I remain focused on cutting the spigot of wasteful spending that contributes to our national debt, burdening hardworking Americans.”
