For the fourth consecutive year, White Coat Waste Project is proud to announce the recipients of its Laurie and Carlee McGrath Congressional Waste Warrior Awards. The award recognizes Members of Congress who have demonstrated outstanding leadership to expose and stop $20 billion in wasteful and unnecessary taxpayer-funded animal experiments, an effort supported by a majority of Americans. Below are our 2019 honorees, who will receive their awards during private presentations.

One of the best ways to cut wasteful spending is to call it out when we see it. That’s what I do in my monthly Squeal Award—highlighting the parts of our gov’t that are wasting hardworking Americans’ tax dollars. Proud to be honored by @WhiteCoatWaste for my work to #MakeEmSqueal pic.twitter.com/pzZA2zb3Lj
