DelBene Statement on Republican Budget Resolution

Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the following statement after voting against the Republican budget resolution. “This budget does absolutely nothing to lower costs when families are struggling with high health care premiums, expensive grocery bills, and unaffordable gas prices due to Republican policies. Instead of addressing the issues that actually matter to families, this bill writes another blank check to ICE, providing $70 billion to continue terrorizing our communities. “Despite Republican claims, this bill also does nothing to end the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, putting paychecks at risk for countless TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA employees. “The American people have been clear – they want a Congress that works to lower costs and keeps our communities safe. The Republican budget is completely out of touch, fails to address the cost-of-living crisis, and only creates more chaos.”
