Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA)

Late last week, the House of Representatives finally renewed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), sending it to President Obama for his signature. This was after Republicans failed to pass their own watered down alternative that sought to exclude protections for undocumented women, Native American women, and the LGBT community.

But there was one Republican running for U.S. Senate in 2014 who didn’t supportAi??renewing the VAWA or the right-wing alternative: Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA), who’s vying for his party’s nomination for Senate from Georgia. He was just one of 27 House Republicans who refused to vote for either version, and the only Georgian to do so — something that could prove a liability with the electorate, particularly women, whose protections he opposes.
