Doug has NOT introduced the Prison Reform and Redemption Act this Congress, contrary to some reporting. He is not promoting “more drastic jailbreak legislation” as a second step in criminal justice reform.

Doug opposes the H.R. 3795 - a radical, progressive measure proposed by liberals unhappy with the First Step Act.

Doug was the lone House Republican to grill Stacey Abrams when she came to the House Judiciary Committee in June of 2019.
