                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. BOB GOOD

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 30, 2021

  Mr. GOOD of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I was unable to vote on June 30, 
2021 due to travel arrangements. Had I been present, I would have voted 
as follows: NO on Roll Call No. 197; NO on Roll Call No. 198; NO on 
Roll Call No. 199; NO on Roll Call No. 200; NO on Roll Call No. 201; 
YES on Roll Call No. 202; NO on Roll Call No. 203; and YES on Roll Call 
No. 204.
  I oppose H. Res. 503, ``Establishing a Select Committee to 
Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol'' 
because politicizing justice undermines trust in the rule of law.
  Since January 6th, I've called for the full prosecution of anyone who 
broke the law. The Department of Justice is already working on an 
investigation that has resulted in hundreds of arrests. In contrast 
Democrats have spent this time smearing elected Republicans, 74 million 
Trump voters, and undermining the efforts of our law enforcement. After 
one failed vote to create a similar commission, Speaker Pelosi is 
asking the House to vote for a partisan select committee. I oppose this 
political theater.
