PERSONAL EXPLANATION

______

HON. BOB GOOD

of virginia

in the house of representatives

Wednesday, June 30, 2021

Mr. GOOD of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I was unable to vote on June 30, 2021 due to travel arrangements. Had I been present, I would have voted as follows: NO on Roll Call No. 197; NO on Roll Call No. 198; NO on Roll Call No. 199; NO on Roll Call No. 200; NO on Roll Call No. 201; YES on Roll Call No. 202; NO on Roll Call No. 203; and YES on Roll Call No. 204.

I oppose H. Res. 503, ``Establishing a Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol'' because politicizing justice undermines trust in the rule of law.

Since January 6th, I've called for the full prosecution of anyone who broke the law. The Department of Justice is already working on an investigation that has resulted in hundreds of arrests. In contrast Democrats have spent this time smearing elected Republicans, 74 million Trump voters, and undermining the efforts of our law enforcement. After one failed vote to create a similar commission, Speaker Pelosi is asking the House to vote for a partisan select committee. I oppose this political theater.

House Representatives' salaries are historically higher than the median US income.
