Rep. Steve Scalise was recruited to run for Congress to replace Quentin D. Dastugue’s seat which he won in 1995. He supports the reduction of state sales tax on food and utilities in return for a higher state income. He also serves on subcommittees such as Communications and Technology, Energy and Power, and Oversight and Investigations which are all part of the Committee of Energy and Commerce. In 2011, he was a co-sponsor of the Stop Online Piracy bill but voted against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act in 2013. His biggest political contributors are the American Medical Association and Protect America Today.
Encrypt Act of 2016
Rep. Scalise would not support this act due to his contributions to the Communications and Technology subcommittee which stands for cyber security, privacy, and date security. As this bill refers to the case of Apple refusing to surpass their own security system on iPhones to give police access, security is a vital part to everyday life with technology everywhere.
Aviation Innovation
If this bill was enacted, it would take away the careers of 30,000 air traffic controllers which is against Rep. Scalise's ideal of employing the American people. This bill would be "subjecting the system to economic downturns and financial hardships," totally refuting Scalise's goal of supporting American families and businesses.
Sentencing Reform Act of 2015
Rep. Steve Scalise would also not support this bill because he believes ensuring the safety of families with a strong and powerful security. By reducing prisoners' sentences, it interferes with Scalise's belief of increasing security and "ensuring that local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies have the tools and support needed to protect families in Louisiana and throughout the United States."
