Statement

Date: April 22, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Criminal Justice

Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) released the following statement regarding today's Senate passage of Sens. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) amendment to the Justice for Victims of Human Trafficking bill, which is companion legislation to Rep. Wagner's House-passed SAVE Act, or the Stop Advertising Victims of Exploitation Act.

"Today, the U.S. Senate passed the SAVE Act, which I authored, and which passed the House unanimously in January. For too long, the federal government hasn't led in the effort to combat the spread of sex trafficking, but today, we change the status quo. I commend my friends Sen. Kirk and Sen. Feinstein for sponsoring this critical piece of bipartisan legislation and I look forward to final passage of this bill."
