Larson Earns Top Marks from Nuns on the Bus

Washington – Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) was recognized for receiving a perfect score on last years Voting Record from NETWORK: A National Catholic Social Justice Lobby. NETWORK recognizes lawmakers who fight for social and economic equality. They are best known for their Nuns on the Bus campaign to urge leaders in Washington to end the gridlock and make real progress for millions of Americans. Larson released the following statement:

"I am deeply humbled to earn this award, and I know with the continued advocacy of groups like NETWORK and its fantastic leader, Sister Simone Campbell, we can keep moving forward to find the common ground for the common good.

"Too many Americans still face injustice and inequality, and NETWORK has been on the forefront in those fights. Whether its working to make sure tax credits that are critical for working families are made permanent, or taking a stand against intolerance and fearmongering by supporting Syrian refugees displaced by devastating violence, NETWORK has been on the front lines of fighting for justice. I have been proud to stand with them in those efforts."
