14 in the House, he developed a reputation of being an extremely
15 principled advocate for the causes he believed in. He championed
16 the Scrap Metal Regulatory Act to make it more difficult for
17 thieves to steal copper and other metals, as well as “Logan’s Law,”
18 which made the Internet Criminal History Access Tool available to
19 animal shelters so that they could determine whether an individual
20 seeking to adopt an animal had previously been convicted of an
21 animal abuse offense; and
