Poliquin’s Bill Passes Committee With Strong Bipartisan Support

WASHINGTON – This week, the House Financial Services Committee passed, with strong bipartisan support, Congressman Bruce Poliquin’s bill, the Child Support Assistance Act, by a vote of 56 – 2.

During the hearing, Congressman Poliquin said, “I believe, as a single parent myself, that the most important responsibility in the world is to care for our kids. Sadly, there are some parents among us who believe differently.

“I’m a single parent myself; I know what it is like to work a demanding full-time job and grocery shop after business hours. I know what it’s like to make sure my child did his homework, make sure he had a bath, and did his reading or I read to him. And then get some sleep before doing it all over again the next day.

“This is not a partisan issue at all. This is about our kids. It’s about getting money to our kids that they’re rightly owed for their care.”
