Called the Gerardo Hernandez Airport Security Act, the bill was first introduced during Hudson’s first term. It also passed the U.S. House in his first term.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson joined fellow House Republicans on Friday in voting to freeze federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
In a 241-187 vote, nearly all Republicans and two Democrats approved legislation that would block Planned Parenthood’s federal funding for one year, giving time for Congress to fully investigate claims of wrongdoing by the provider. The vote comes in the wake of an undercover video controversy.
