Chairwoman McClain Backs Vice President Vance’s New Pledge to Crack Down on Fraud

WASHINGTON- House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) today announced her support for Vice President JD Vance's Pledge to Protect Americans from Fraud to protect vulnerable Americans, stop fraudulent payments, and hold criminals accountable for stealing taxpayer dollars.

"House Republicans are coming after the fraudsters and anyone who thinks they can get away with stealing from the American people," Chairwoman McClain said. "Democrats allowed this theft to run rampant and left the American people to foot the bill. I am proud to stand with Vice President Vance and draw a line in the sand. We are stopping the checks before the criminals get paid and throwing these crooks behind bars to make sure they never see another dime of taxpayer money."

The Vice President's six-point pledge calls for stronger coordination across all levels of government, permanent restrictions on convicted fraudsters receiving taxpayer-funded benefits, and the prosecution and deportation of illegal aliens who commit fraud.
