Statement

Date: March 8, 2024
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Budget, Spending and Taxes

“Funding the government is one of Congress’ primary responsibilities, and I am glad we voted to prevent a partial government shutdown. The scope of this package is broad, from ensuring care for our veterans to enhancing and expanding our roads and airports in West Virginia. These bills fund law enforcement at the federal, state and local level, and the Violence Against Women Act. The bills also provide rural development grants to combat housing, broadband, and infrastructure challenges, while our institutions of higher learning benefit from the investments made in academic research, along with research and investment in fossil fuel technology and research. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I was proud to be able to ensure these bills have West Virginia priorities included, and I look forward to completing the remaining bills to conclude the FY24 budget process soon.”
