Klobuchar Statement on Senate Appropriations Committee’s Bill to Fund the Justice Department Antitrust Division
Statement
Issues: Business and Consumers
“In 2022, I passed bipartisan legislation to boost antitrust enforcement funding. Earlier this year, those funds were diverted away from the Antitrust Division’s essential work to protect American consumers, workers, and entrepreneurs. I'm proud to have worked with Senator Shaheen to reverse that decision in the Senate and secure a 24% increase for next year to protect consumers and small businesses from anticompetitive behavior that increases prices, eliminates choices for consumers, and deters innovation.”
