WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) joined Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) on a letter urging Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR) to remove any proposals that would discourage marriage.
“Federal policy should be designed to foster strong marriages, which are the foundation of strong families and strong communities,” the senators wrote. “We believe that marriage is a vital social good. It is misguided and unfair for the government to build bigger barriers for couples to marry.”
