“The comments by Mr. Kothari validate the deepest concern that allies of Israel have shared since the United Nations Human Rights Council initiated its disgraceful and never-ending investigation of Israel,” said Congressman Lamborn. “An individual who is fundamentally biased against Israel and the Jewish people has no right serving in a position of authority over an already outrageous commission. The United States should insist that Mr. Kothari be removed from the COI into Israel immediately, and work with like-minded nations to counteract the harmful work being done by the UNHRC until its mandate is justly brought to an end.”

“It is alarming that House Democrats continue their mission of fearmongering and disseminating misinformation to the American people. This legislation is blatantly unconstitutional and targets the standard types of firearms that American citizens most often choose to defend their homes, families, and property. The Democrats' disdain for our constitution and the rule of law insults the American people and our way of life. I strongly oppose H.R. 1808 and I will never stop defending our constitution, including a person's inalienable right to bear arms. If Democrats were serious about preventing gun violence, they would secure our border and go after criminals, not responsible, safe, and legal gun owners.”

“It is alarming that the Biden Administration would disregard the intent of section 1332 of the ACA and allow the state of Colorado to misuse this program to fund healthcare for illegal aliens. Subsidizing healthcare for illegal immigrants is unlawful and serves as a slap in the face to hard-working American taxpayers,” said Congressman Lamborn. “During a time when inflation is up over 9% and drugs and criminals are coming across our Southern border in record numbers, we should not be incentivizing illegal immigration. I thank Congressman Buck for his leadership on this critical issue and hope President Biden reconsiders this terrible decision.”

“I am greatly concerned that liberal-governed states, such as Colorado and California, are attempting to enact anti-life policies which include using taxpayer dollars to fund the travel and procedural expenses of women crossing state lines to receive an abortion,” said Congressman Lamborn.“Abortion is not healthcare and hardworking taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize the taking of innocent life no matter what state they live in. I thank my colleagues in Congress for joining me in this crucial fight to protect the unborn.”

“Sadly, Democrats continue to prioritize their far left initiatives and out-of-control federal spending, with some accounts receiving double-digit and triple-digit percentage increases. This partisan legislation is chock full of New Green Deal-type climate initiatives, funding for abortions, incentives for illegal immigrants, and increasing funding for several overreaching and underachieving government agencies."

“While more than a dozen state legislatures have implemented life saving measures for unborn children and their mothers since the historic Dobbs ruling, Democrats and the abortion industry are spreading fear in an attempt to push their anti-life agenda, including the Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act, which has already failed three times.” Said Congressman Lamborn, “Although nearly 70% of Americans oppose abortion without restrictions, these bills attempt to remove protections for women, allow for discriminatory abortions based on a baby’s sex, race, and disability, and enshrine a virtually unlimited ‘right’ to abortion in federal law. Today’s votes demonstrate just how out of touch Democrats are with the American people.”

“I was pleased to vote for the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, one of the most impactful pieces of legislation I work on every year. This legislation will benefit the military installations and defense enterprise in Colorado's Fifth Congressional District with robust support for space, missile defense, and other innovative technologies. Additionally, it provides a necessary $37 billion addition to President Biden's insufficient budget request, reversing reckless cuts and ensuring budget growth to rebuild the military.”

"The U.S. Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case has empowered the American people to decide the issue of abortion through their elected officials in the states and in Congress, not through authoritarian Executive Orders," said Congressman Lamborn. "President Biden is trying to circumvent the voice of the American people by issuing an Executive Order that significantly undermines the U.S. Constitution and the balance of power accompanying it. I was glad to join my colleague Congressman Clyde in demanding that President Biden withdraws this Executive Order and stick to governing within the boundaries our Constitution grants to the Executive Office."

"I rise today to speak in support of H.R. 7900, the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act.  As the Strategic Forces Subcommittee Ranking Member, I’m particularly proud of the work put forward by this Subcommittee led by Chairman Jim Cooper. I’ll miss working with my good friend from Tennessee.  Among the many excellent provisions put forward by the Strategic Forces Subcommittee is one I am very pleased with that directs the establishment and funding of a National Hypersonic Initiative to bring an all-of-government approach to catching-up to China and Russia in hypersonics."
