“U.S. Representatives Hank Johnson (GA-04), Lateefah Simon (CA-12), Shri Thanedar (MI-13) and Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37) signed on as original co-sponsors to this legislation”
Are Hank Johnson, Lateefah Simon, Shri Thanedar, and Sydney Kamlager-Dove listed as original co-sponsors of the Read for Reentry Act?
