Congresswoman Jackie Walorski, the only Republican freshman, attended a bipartisan meeting with White House senior advisers to join in a discussion regarding legislation aiming to reduce sexual violence in the military, including the bill she sponsored on whistle-blower protections for sexual assault victims in the military.
“I dropped this bill last week with Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez because I believe that we have the finest military in the world, but the military is going to have to be accountable for what’s happening with this issue of sex abuse, and so our bill is a very commonsense bill and it’s one that has received a lot of bipartisan support. We have quite a few cosponsors on this bill already,” said Walorski.
