Strong opposes Schumer's reckless spending bill

WASHINGTON — Today, Representative Dale W. Strong voted against the final six Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations bills, issuing the following statement after the vote:  

“Chuck Schumer and President Biden ignored a majority of the American people by stripping out House-passed provisions to secure our southern border and get a handle on our illegal immigration crisis, while at the same time, adding earmarks to fund the Democrats’ radical left agenda including funding for abortion facilities, LGBTQ indoctrination, and benefits for the millions of illegal immigrants pouring through our border. 

When Republicans took the majority, we promised the American people that we would change the way Washington does business by providing 72 hours to review legislation, and that we would eliminate reckless spending that solely advances a liberal social agenda. This bill failed both of those tests.”
