Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) has garnered enough support to force a floor vote on a proposal to allow new parents in the House to vote by proxy.
The resolution would allow House members who just gave birth—or whose spouses just gave birth—to designate another member to vote on their behalf for up to 12 weeks. Proxy voting would also be an option for expectant mothers whose pregnancies pose a serious medical condition or have rendered them unable to travel safely.
