Rep. Flood Votes to Protect Women’s Sports: “Republicans Will Continue to Fight for the Next Generation of Women”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood issued a statement after voting in favor of H.R. 28, also known as the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. 

“The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act gives the next generation of young American women the same opportunities as their mothers had to compete on a fair playing field. Helping young Americans participate in athletics based on their biological sex is just common sense. While the Biden Administration tried to force schools to allow students who are biologically boys to compete in girls’ sports, times are changing. The incoming Trump administration and congressional Republicans will continue to fight for the next generation of women as we work to safeguard our schools and institutions against gender ideology.”

The bill, which Rep. Flood supported in the previous Congress before it stalled in the Senate, upholds Title IX and protects women’s sports by prohibiting federal funding for events organized, sponsored, or facilitated by organizations that permit biological males to compete in women’s sports.
