Position
Booker
Voted
2013-11-07 Employment Non-Discrimination Act [S815] Agreed To
(64-34)
This bill would prohibit hiring decisions based on "gender identity" with narrow-based exemptions for religiously-based organizations as defined by the federal government. Under the bill, employers can be liable for legal action based on vaguely defined actions that "adversely affect the status of an employee or applicant."

2013-11-19 Guantanamo [S1197] Rejected
(43-55)
Ayotte (R-NH) amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act would have removed provisions that weaken the national security standards required to move terrorists being held at Guantanamo.

2013-12-17 Tax-and-Spend Budget [HJRES59] Agreed To
(67-33)
This bill eliminates the spending reductions agreed to in the sequester, more than doubles the airline ticket tax and uses budget gimmicks to claim savings in future years for spending increases now. ACU opposes tax-and-spend budgets at a time when our national debt is over $17 trillion.
