Today, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's Gulf of America Act passed the House of Representatives.

Following the passage of Congresswoman Greene's bill, she issued the following statement:

"I’m proud to have passed my Gulf of America Act through the House.

This bill codifies President Trump's executive order permanently renaming the rightful Gulf of America.

The American people are footing the bill to protect and secure the Gulf's maritime waterways for commerce to be conducted.

Our U.S. armed forces protect the area from any military threats, from foreign countries and from the Mexican cartels, who use the Gulf to traffic humans, drugs, and weapons into our communities.

It’s our gulf.

The rightful name is the Gulf of America and it’s what the entire world should refer to it as."

Since January 20, 2025, the U.S. Coast Guard has seized over 100,000 pounds of cocaine and over 10,000 pounds of marijuana, much of it trafficked through these waters.

Democrat policies have fueled this crisis. They opened our borders, defunded border enforcement, and prioritized illegal aliens and MS-13 gang members over American families. These same Democrats are now outraged over the idea of renaming a body of water that we protect, we patrol, and we pay for.

Certainly, it is not controversial to rename landmarks within the United States. During the Obama administration, the EPA headquarters was renamed after President Clinton in 2013. President Obama renamed Mount McKinley to Denali in 2015.

They’re not upset about geography. They’re upset because their America Last agenda is being exposed.

The gulf is rightfully ours, we must make this change permanent.

Congresswoman Greene urges all of her colleagues in the Senate to quickly pass this bill so it can be sent to President Trump's desk.
