Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick voted against two high-profile pieces of legislation that were approved by the Democratic-majority U.S. House of Representatives.
The Republican from Middletown Township voted against the For the People Act and George Floyd Justice in Policing Act on Wednesday.
The For the People Act was first introduced in the last session Congress and reintroduced this year. The bill seeks to firm up ethics rules for government officials, “expand Americans’ access to the ballot box” by adding mandatory automatic voter registration, restore voting rights to people who have completed felony sentences, and a reverse state voter ID laws. One major proposal in the bill would deal with the requirements that political organizations name major financial backers and create a new public financing system for certain federal elections.

In a move that ends the prohibition which started after the general election in November 2020, Facebook announced that it is lifting its self-imposed ban on political ads, Thursday.
Facebook Announces Lifting of Ban on Political Ads
Facebook s ban on political ads has remained active for several months since November. The lifting of the said ban comes just a week after Google announced that it would also allow the return of political ads on its platforms.
The move both by Facebook and Google is a significant development in the field of digital politics. This happened after months of on and off policy changes from the tech giant which largely affected fundraising programs for political parties as well as their campaign strategies.
