                             HON. RON KIND

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 29, 2019

  Mr. KIND. Madam Speaker, I was unable to have my votes recorded on 
the House floor on Wednesday, October 23, 2019 due to a family matter. 
Had I been present, I would have voted in favor of H.R. 4617. As a 
cosponsor of this legislation, I believe it would create critical 
safeguards to protect our elections. I would also have voted in favor 
of H.R. 777, which would reauthorize a key DNA backlog grant program.
