Rep. Cindy Axne, D-Iowa., initially claimed COVID-19 was the reason she could not attend an emergency August House vote in person, but later admitted she was on a planned vacation in France.
In August, Axne voted by proxy in the emergency vote for the Manchin-Schumer climate bill, labelled the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
In a request sent to the House Clerk on August 12th, Axne said she was unable to attend the vote due to “the ongoing healthy emergency,” when she was actually vacationing out of the country.
