Heritage Action Position

Heritage Action is holding Congress and the administration accountable to advancing conservative efforts to topple Obamacare. Republicans have yet another opportunity to follow through on their repeated campaign promises and provide Americans with lower cost and greater access to healthcare.

Heritage Action Position

The Employee Rights Act would solve many problems workers face today, including problems enshrined in current labor law. The bill would help restore a balance of power in the workplace from unions to workers and help ensure labor unions best serve the interest of employees, not union bosses. Heritage Action supports the legislation, encourages Representatives to support it, and reserves the right to key vote in the future.

If passed and signed into law, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Reform Act of 2017 would encourage millions of Americans to get back to work, help end the cycle of poverty for millions dependent on government assistance, and save taxpayers billions of dollars over the next decade. Heritage Action supports the legislation, encourages Representatives and Senators to support it, and reserves the right to key vote in the future.

Heritage Action Position

Heritage Action supports the Education Savings Accounts for Military Families Act of 2019 (H.R. 1605 and S. 695), and will include co-sponsorship of the legislation on our scorecard.
