House Democratic leaders are seeking disciplinary action against Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Jared Golden after the two joined Republicans on a procedural vote. Both said their votes served their districts, with Perez pointing to a Golden-backed bill for Maine fishermen.
Democratic leaders Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar called the vote a breach of trust and asked the Committee on Caucus Rules to consider a response. Jeffries said he wanted action soon, but the committee did not immediately announce next steps.
Perez and Golden said they voted in their districts’ interests. The procedural measure advanced Republican-led bills, including a resolution condemning socialism and language praising the Trump-backed SAVE America Act. Golden said his bill to shield lobstermen from whale-protection regulations was a win for fishermen; Perez said she voted for the measure because of that bill.
