Family Research Council Action President Tony Perkins made the following comment:
“We thank Rep. Brady for consistently voting to defend and advance faith, family and freedom. As a 'True Blue Member' he voted 100 percent on FRC Action’s Scorecard including votes to repeal and replace Obamacare, deliver long-needed tax cuts that are already providing much needed relief to working families, stand for religious liberty, overturn President Obama’s transgender military policy, end the forced partnership between taxpayers and Planned Parenthood, and protect pain capable babies.
“Rep. Brady deserves praise for his unwavering commitment to stand for life, family, marriage, and religious liberty. Texans should be encouraged to know that they have a Member of Congress such as Rep. Brady who has come alongside other members and our president to begin the work of rebuilding our nation, and protecting the very values that made America great,” concluded Perkins.
Rep. Kevin Brady added:
“Fighting for family values and the most vulnerable in our communities is a promise to my constituents I take very seriously. My 100 percent voting record is a direct reflection of the commitment I share with the people of my district to preserving these fundamental ideals. This recognition is a true honor and I appreciate all that Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council do to promote conservative values in our nation.”
