A Better Budget for all Americans

Congress currently has a unique opportunity, through the reconciliation process, to align both the House and the Senate on an agreed upon budget which will ultimately allow Congress to pass legislation that supports an America First agenda. As Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee and a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, there are numerous opportunities to engage in this process. 

Republicans are committed to delivering on their promise to the American people by securing our borders, restoring American energy dominance, and rolling back burdensome regulations, all while saving billions of dollars to be put back into the pockets of hard-working taxpayers. 

Constituents across the Fourth District know firsthand the struggles faced due to increased grocery prices, increased energy bills which induce stress over higher gas prices, and imperiled national security through unprecedented numbers of illegal immigrants crossing our borders and putting our communities in danger. Because of this, Arkansans and Americans alike are demanding change, and House Republicans are ready to step up to the plate to deliver relief that is long overdue.

The budget resolution passed in the House this week creates a necessary blueprint to deliver on the promises House Republicans made to the American people by saving billions of taxpayer dollars, unleashing America’s energy potential, and implementing an America First agenda. Advancing this budget resolution will now allow committees, like the House Natural Resources Committee, to get to work on the nuts and bolts of reconciling the budget, implementing savings across the entirety of the government, and harnessing our biggest revenue generators like domestic energy production. 

By unlocking access to our energy and mineral reserves, actively managing federal forests, streamlining burdensome permitting processes, and repealing wasteful IRA spending, we will deliver a balanced, responsible reconciliation bill that builds the wealth of our nation without bankrupting future generations. Promises made, promises kept – House Republicans will continue to deliver relief to the American people, and it will be exciting to see the reconciliation process majorly contribute to these efforts.
