Anti-abortion[edit]

This entry should include Giroir's opposition to abortion, including fetal tissue research, and his support for needle exchange programs and buprenorphine/methadone, which was reported in many WP:RSs.

Conflict of Interest Cleanup Required[edit]

Much of this article was written by a few accounts that have few or no edits to other articles and have been warned, without response, for their potential conflicts of interest - specifically, User:CrosswindPR and User:dphil6. It clearly needs a rewrite to address these problems. Fiachra10003 (talk) 11:02, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lede[edit]

An editor deleted some of the lede, saying it wasnt needed, because it was covered in the body. But the lede is meant to cover the most notable part of the body - it is completely redundant. --2604:2000:E010:1100:E1AA:F8C3:26D8:C6EE (talk) 17:18, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Awards[edit]

I'm currently working on updating the awards and placing them in the correct order for a USPHS CC officer. I got the awards corrected to what they should be, but I'll need to fix the graphics for the ribbons so they all have the same size, they look a little wonky right now.
