Pappas Votes Against Partisan Budget That Raises Health Care Costs, Fails Local Law Enforcement, and Hurts Small Businesses
CR also worsens housing insecurity and fails to keep submarine construction on pace with national security needs
Today, Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) released the following statement after opposing the Republican majority’s partisan budget that fails to meet the needs of Granite Staters:
“Today the Republican majority in Congress abandoned bipartisanship and brought to the floor a highly partisan continuing resolution that fails to meet the needs of New Hampshire. This legislation will cause health care costs to skyrocket for tens of thousands of Granite Staters, end vital support for small businesses, make cuts to public safety for local police departments, and jeopardize our national security. As I travel across New Hampshire and hear from constituents, they continue to tell me about the need for Washington to work together and solve problems like lowering costs and keeping their communities safe. This legislation completely misses the mark. It is time for Democrats and Republicans to negotiate in good faith and produce a budget that helps working families and small businesses and doesn’t leave them behind.”
