“I am thrilled to see my bill, the Romance Scam Prevention Act, passed out of the Senate last night. Romance scams don’t just steal people’s savings—they exploit their trust and leave lasting emotional damage. As more Americans turn to online dating to find meaningful relationships, scammers are increasingly using these platforms to target vulnerable people and families. If a dating platform removes someone for fraud, the people they contacted deserve to know so they can protect themselves before it’s too late. “If signed into law, this will be my sixth bill enacted during this Trump Administration – proof that we can fight hard against his lawlessness, cruelty and corruption, while also working to find common ground where we can. I’m proud of my record and I will keep working to deliver for the people in our district.” ### To access downloadable, high-quality photos, click here.
