Washington D.C.—Congressman Joe Neguse, representing Colorado’s 2nd Congressional District, today advocated passionately in the House Judiciary Committee for an assault weapons ban. Mass shootings at Columbine in 1999 and at the Aurora movie theater in 2012 both involved military-style assault weapons, manufactured for the specific purpose of firing multiple rounds in a short amount of time.

Washington, D.C.— Today, Congressman Joe Neguse succeeded in passing legislation through the House Natural Resources Committee that would authorize the first outdoor monument honoring the women’s suffrage movement to be installed in Washington D.C. The bill passed by voice vote with bipartisan support following a Committee markup and will now head to the House Floor for a full vote. This bill is the second that Congressman Neguse has successfully passed through the Natural Resources Committee since taking office.

Washington, D.C.— Congressman Joe Neguse has secured a committee markup for his bill to install the first national outdoor monument honoring the women’s suffrage movement in Washington D.C.. Neguse first introduced H.R. 473 in January with the aim of installing Loveland artist Jane DeDecker’s Every Word We Utter statue depicting Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Alice Paul, and Ida B. Wells and secured a hearing for the legislation in May.

The House Judiciary Committee will take up a red flag law and high capacity magazine ban in Committee markup spanning two days, both bills that Colorado has already passed into law
