Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) has expressed his support for the H.R. 7109, Equal Representation Act, a bill he co-led with Rep. Chuck Edwards. The legislation was passed by the House of Representatives recently. The Act mandates the Census Bureau to include a citizenship question in all future censuses and bars non-citizens from being counted towards Congressional district and Electoral College apportionment.

"The Equal Representation Act puts voting power back in the hands of the American people and ensures the census can't be used to cheat hardworking taxpayers out of the representation they deserve. Members of Congress represent U.S. citizens, not foreigners," stated Rep. Warren Davidson. "I am proud of the work my colleague Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) and I did to pass this legislation in the House of Representatives. I urge the Senate to pass this legislation so only American citizens are represented in our federal government.”
