Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) said in an interview that he believes members of the House and Senate should be subjected to random drug testing.
The comments to USA Today Network come after the Louisiana Republican introduced legislation on Thursday which seeks to require senators and representatives be subjected to drug screenings once each term.
Elected officials in Washington, D.C. should be subject to the same kind of random drug screenings that blue-collar, working-class Americans have to endure," Higgins said of the proposal in a news release.
Congress shouldnt get to live by a different set of rules, he said. This effort is about maintaining accountability and ensuring sober service to ... the people.
