Notably, five Democrats emerged as the bill’s most important backers, ensuring its demise with their votes in favor. Reps. Himes, Gottheimer, Meeks (D-NY), Torres, and Nickel are the legislators responsible, and their coordinated effort was crucial in moving the bill ahead. The Bill was introduced by Chairman Patrick McHenry.
