Press Releases

Tonight, Congressman Bill Huizenga (MI-02) released the following statement after voting in support of the bipartisan budget agreement that passed the House by a vote of 332 to 94.

"While not perfect, this budget agreement is a small step in the right direction. In addition to enacting spending cuts to both permanent and mandatory spending, this bipartisan legislation avoids the potential of a government shutdown and gets Congress back on the path of funding the government in a timely manner through the normal appropriations process.

"Now that spending levels are agreed upon, I am hopeful Democrats and Republicans can continue to build on this bipartisan foundation and begin to tackle the long-term debt crisis facing our nation. Long-term problems require long-term solutions, and I am prepared to make the difficult decisions that lie ahead. We owe it to the next generation to achieve serious and substantial spending reforms that improve America's fiscal future."
