Recently, Sharice Davids voted against the POLICE Act, a bill to mandate deportation for any non-citizen guilty of assaulting a police officer or first responder.
Davids also voted against condemning policies that effectively gave more power to anti-police activists in the District of Columbia, thus backing an extreme Washington D.C. plan giving more power to anti-policeactivists and allowing individual police officers to be targeted by protestors.
These extreme anti-law enforcement policies are tearing apart police forces and making communities more dangerous.
"Extremist Sharice Davids doesn't have the backs of our law enforcement. Davids clearly cares more about sticking to a radical agenda than keeping Kansans safe." - NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar

"The Fiscal Responsibility Act will cut spending and reduce the deficit, end uncontrollable executive spending by enforcing 'Pay-Go' rules, restart student loan repayments that will save taxpayers $5 billion per month, and take back tens of billions of COVID funding. The bill will jumpstart our economywith work requirements for able-bodied childless adults and speed up critical construction projects. All this is done while ensuring full funding for our seniors, veterans, and national defense."
"Extreme Democrats fought tooth and nail to avoid cutting even one single dollar, demanding to keep our nation's runaway spending train careening down the tracks. These extreme Democrats are addicted to spending our money, but Republicans are united in our desire to stop them from destroying our country with crushing debt."
"I believe we can always find more waste to cut, but forcing a Democratic President to cut spending is historic and unprecedented. There was not a single Democratic priority in this bill, but there are trillions of reasons for Republicans to celebrate: represented by the $2.1 trillion in savings won through hard-fought negotiations. We should take the real conservative policy wins in this bill today and come back tomorrow to fight for more."
