Congresswoman Tenney Receives “True Blue” Award for Her Advocacy in Support of Life and Religious Freedom

March 13, 2023

Washington, DC – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) recently accepted the Family Research Council’s “True Blue” Award for her work in Congress to support life, the American family, and religious freedom. The Family Research Council (FRC) is a nonprofit research and educational organization committed to advancing a family values-centered philosophy of life.

“As a strong advocate for protecting the sanctity of life and the American family, I thank the Family Research Council for this recognition,” said Congresswoman Claudia Tenney. “I am committed to continuing my compassionate advocacy for family-centered policies as I fight for pro-life, pro-family, and pro-freedom legislation in Congress. The rights of American citizens to speak their minds, raise their families and worship their faiths are among the cornerstones of our great nation, but they are under assault today in this country. I will always defend our First Amendment and protect our vitally important religious liberties.”

“In the first Congress to see a post-Roe nation, there is much to celebrate, especially for Members, like Rep. Claudia Tenney, who have consistently --and repeatedly--stood for life in the face of a pro-abortion mob bent on intimidating Americans into their way of thinking. She also courageously stood strong against dangerous, freedom eroding laws like the Equality Act and (Dis)Respect for Marriage Act. Members of the House voted to protect women and girls from being forcibly drafted into combat military roles. We thank her for defending faith, family, and freedom with her votes and her voice of leadership. She has voted to reject the overhaul our federal civil rights framework with radical gender ideology. In the post-Roe America, she voted to protect the sanctity of human life for unborn babies in all 50 states. She also voted to expand protections for conscience rights, reject legislation legitimizing recreational marijuana use, and fought the Department of Justice’s view of concerned parents as ‘terrorists.’ Americans should be encouraged to know that they have so many members of Congress who, despite relentless attacks from the Left and the media, are standing strong for faith, family, and freedom,” concluded Tony Perkins, Family Research Council President.
