(Washington, DC) – U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH),a top member of the U.S. Senate Appropriations and Armed Services Committees and Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will offer dozens of amendments to the budget resolution tonight that would help make health care more affordable, lower the costs of energy bills, protect American consumers and businesses from rising prices imposed by President Trump’s tariffs and keep Americans safe by enhancing military preparedness, strengthening our air traffic controller workforce and investing in the northern border.
“While some of my Republican colleagues seem set on using tonight’s process to carve out a path to give tax cuts to the wealthiest in the country on the backs of working Americans, I’m urging bipartisan cooperation on commonsense opportunities that would allow working families to keep more of their hard-earned money and enhance public safety,”said Shaheen.“We have a real opportunity to deliver lasting results for our constituents who are grappling with high costs—unfortunately, President Trump and Congressional Republicans are instead focusing on delivering a tax cut for the wealthiest while slashing programs millions rely on.”
