The House of Representatives narrowly passed a bill Tuesday, Jan. 14 that would bar trans athletes from competing on female sports teams, but both of Nassau County’s congress members voted against the legislation.
“Today’s bill is clear and dramatic government overreach,” Rep. Laura Gillen (NY-4) said in a statement. “The groups best equipped to deal with this and with the requisite information and expertise are found at the local and league level: they know how to ensure the safety of their athletes better than officials far removed in Washington.”
