Today, the House unanimously passed landmark legislation that improves accountability and transparency while addressing allegations of sexual harassment in Congress, and protects victims.
By Unanimous Consent, the House passed the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 Reform Act. This historical set of reforms will focus on protecting victims, strengthening transparency, holding Members accountable for personal conduct, and improving the adjudication process.

Future CHA Ranking Member @RodneyDavis announced he will carry on the CIPIID program in the 116th, renaming it the Gregg and Livingston Harper Congressional Internship Program for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities to honor the founder @GreggHarper and his son Livingston.
Chairman @GreggHarper has been instrumental in his work with the Congressional Internship Program for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities. It’s a joy to see the good work and opportunity that CIPIID has done!
The @IAmBiotech community supports over 6,227 jobs in Mississippi. I am honored to stand up for those workers. This Innovator in Biotechnology Award is for them.
Sidney and I are honored to be at the National Cathedral on behalf of the Third District of Mississippi to pay our respects to a great man, President George Herbert Walker Bush. He will be missed by us all.
Godspeed President Bush. This is the bookend to the Barbara Bush cartoon from April. My thoughts are with the Bush family tonight. On a personal note, he was the first president I drew as a cartoonist (I began my career in 1988.) @JennaBushHager#presidentBush#rip#georgehwbush
So honored to speak on behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Stennis Board of Trustees to honor my great friend, Rex Buffington, for his many years of distinguished public service.
As we gather around the table in our homes and across our communities, we remember the abundance of blessings the Lord has bestowed upon our families and our nation. Extremely grateful for another year surrounded by many friends and loved ones. God bless and Happy Thanksgiving!
These are some issues that should not be bipartisan, they should be nonpartisan. Both parties experience these things and clearly recognize the need. Let's not use this as a political weapon -@GreggHarper#AtlanticintheMiddle
You can’t find anyone that doesn’t have a story about caregiving in their family, says @GreggHarper.
You can't have the solutions that you need if you don't know the full scope of the problem #AtlanticintheMiddle
It was good to join @PhilBryantMS, @SenHydeSmith, @GreggHarper, Rep.-elect Michael Guest, and others for the groundbreaking of @Raytheon's radar manufacturing facility expansion in Forest. I am proud of Mississippi’s defense manufacturers and the excellent work they do.
