Just 8 House Democrats Voted for Parental Consent Pronouns Bill
On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 217–198 to require federally funded elementary and middle schools to obtain parental consent before changing a student’s gender on forms or sex-based accommodations.
Only eight Democrats voted for the bill.
Democrat Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Don Davis of North Carolina, Cleo Fields of Louisiana, Lauren Gillen of New York, Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, and Eugene Vindman of Virginia joined all voting Republicans in supporting the Parental Rights Over The Education and Care of Their (PROTECT) Kids Act.
Many of these Democrats are facing tough reelection prospects.
Gonzalez, Kaptur, and Perez are in “Toss-Up” races, while Davis is in a “Lean R” race, according to The Cook Political Report. Cuellar and Gillen have a slight edge in “Lean D” races.
While only a select few Democrats voted for the bill, also known as H.R. 2616, parental rights have been a priority for Republicans. House Republicans also passed a parental bill of rights in 2023.
