||| FROM THE OFFICE OF U.S. REP. RICK LARSEN |||
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02) released the following statement:
“Today I voted once again to stop the President from attacking Iran. All Americans have gotten out of this unjustified war is higher prices. Congress is sending a clear message to President Trump: stop the war. Lower prices.”
Today, Rep. Larsen voted yes for the sixth time on a resolution that directs President Trump to remove the U.S. military from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its military, unless such hostilities are explicitly authorized by Congress. The resolution does not prevent the U.S. from defending itself from imminent attack. It also does not prevent the U.S. from collecting or sharing intelligence and counterintelligence with partners in line with the United States’ national security interests.
The resolution passed by a final vote of 214-208.
