Senate Democrats Wrap Up a Year in Leader McConnell’s Legislative Graveyard
It’s been a long year in Leader McConnell’s legislative graveyard, where more than 300 pieces of legislation have been met with inaction.
Bipartisan legislation that is stalled in the Senate includes bills to protect people with pre-existing conditions, strengthen our elections, and enact critical gun safety measures.
But these bills have been left on Leader McConnell’s desk as the Senate is held hostage by the self-proclaimed grim reaper.
Examples of bipartisan bills stalled in the Senate include:
- H.R.3, Lower Drug Costs Now Act
- H.R.5, Equality Act
- H.R.6, The American Dream and Promise Act
- H.R.7, Paycheck Fairness Act
- H.R.8, Bipartisan Background Checks Act
- H.R.9, Climate Action Now Act
- H.R.987, Protecting People With Pre-Existing Conditions/Lowering Drug Costs
- H.R.582, Raise The Wage Act
- H.R.1585, Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act
- H.R.1644, Save The Internet Act
- H.R 2722, Securing America’s Federal Elections (SAFE) Act
- H.R.1112, Enhanced Background Checks
In spite of Leader McConnell’s refusal to act, Senate Democrats continue to work hard to pass meaningful legislation to strengthen democracy and promote the welfare of the American people.
Democrats are committed to meeting the needs of hard-working Americans, who deserve more than a Senate that has been turned into a legislative graveyard.
