In life, there are certain situations that catch you off guard and inspire you to enact change. Learning about the heartbreaking acts of fertility fraud committed on families across the nation is one of those situations. When I watched the Netflix documentary “Our Father” and heard that there have been hundreds of cases where fertility doctors knowingly implanted their own genetic material into their female patients without their knowledge or consent, I was enraged.
The Republican majority is in full swing. Committee chairs and memberships are in the process of being formed. On the House floor, we’ve passed a strong, conservative rules package and multiple pieces of effective legislation that align with the Republican Commitment to America.
Washington, D.C. – Representative Stephanie Bice (OK-05) released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 21, the Strategic Production Response Act:
“President Biden has weakened America’s energy security in an attempt to temporarily lower gas prices leading up to the 2022 election,” Rep. Bice said. “Oklahomans deserve more than political games. H.R. 21 is a step toward allowing America to produce reliable and affordable energy to lower prices at the pump and ensure we’re prepared for true energy supply emergencies.”
Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Stephanie Bice (OK-05) introduced the Stop Environmental Calculations (SEC) Act, which would prohibit the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from requiring an issuer to make climate-related disclosures.

This includes Scope 3 reporting, which the EPA does not require.

House Republicans argued Democrats will "weaponize" the U.S. Supreme Court amid "dangerous" calls to pack the Court, during a Wednesday press conference in support of a constitutional amendment to maintain the number of justices at nine.
"What the Democrats are trying to do now in the Senate to change the Supreme Court, to pack the Supreme Court, shakes the very foundation that our country was founded on, and it destroys the Constitution," Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C. said during the press conference.
Washington, D.C. - This week, the House Republican Steering Committee selected Congresswoman Stephanie Bice to serve on the powerful House Committee on Appropriations. The Appropriations Committee controls discretionary spending and has oversight over the expenditures made by the federal government.
Congresswoman Bice issued the following statement:
Last week, the American people saw Democracy at work. Although it can be messy sometimes, that is how our nation’s founders intended Congress to function. We emerged with a strong Speaker of the House and a rules package without concessions, but with great conservative wins. I voted each time for Kevin McCarthy because he is best prepared to lead the Republican majority. Oklahomans elected me to provide a check and balance on the Biden Administration and to find solutions to the numerous problems facing our nation, and I’m committed to doing just that.
