Rep. August Pfluger, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 11th district since 2021, has recently shared updates on social media regarding his legislative efforts concerning voting rights in Washington D.C. Born in Houston in 1978 and currently residing in San Angelo, Pfluger has been vocal about his stance on noncitizen voting.
On June 10, 2025, Rep. Pfluger announced that ” PASSED: My bill to prohibit noncitizens from voting in DC elections just passed the House!” He emphasized the principle that “Only American citizens should be able to vote in U.S. elections.”
The following day, June 11, he expressed concern over opposition to the bill by stating that “Last night, 148 Democrats voted against my bill to prohibit noncitizens from voting in DC.” Pfluger clarified his position further by adding, “Every vote against this bill was a vote for the transfer of political power away from the citizen voter.” He directed readers to Fox News for more information.
Later on June 11, Rep. Pfluger elaborated on the implications of local election policies by asserting that “Local elections determine critical matters, and allowing noncitizens to vote in them opens Pandora’s Box to D.C.’s already radical local policies.” He underscored the necessity of passing his bill as a measure against what he described as “insanity,” encouraging readers to learn more through Daily Caller.
August Pfluger’s tenure in Congress began when he succeeded Mike Conaway in 2021. His recent legislative activities reflect ongoing concerns about electoral integrity and citizenship requirements within U.S. governance frameworks.
