Democrat and Chronicle: Gillibrand not giving up on sexual assault measure
The Democrat and Chronicle reports:
With 10 senators still undecided on the issue, according to Gillibrand, there was a possibility her proposal would pass the Senate.
But Gillibrand also had expected the possibility of not getting a vote on her amendment.
Last month she filed her proposal as a separate bill to preserve an opportunity for a Senate vote later this month.
“We are confident that we will get a vote,” Gillibrand’s spokeswoman Bethany Lesser said in an email. “Regardless of what happens, the senator will not go away, she will keep fighting to protect our brave men and women in uniform and to strengthen our military.”
