Huizenga Votes to Fund Military, Help Low-Income Children, Keep Government Open
Washington,
January 18, 2018
Tonight, the House passed and Congressman Huizenga supported legislation to keep the government open, prevent cuts to our military, and fund the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This legislation now goes to the Senate.
"This evening, the House took the responsible step to keep the government open, support our men and women in uniform, and help low income children by funding CHIP for six years. All of these issues should garner bipartisan support. However, the vast majority of Democrats in Washington seem more interested in playing political games than delivering results. "For weeks, Senator Stabenow has discussed the importance of funding CHIP. Now she will have the opportunity to do so for six years while supporting our troops. Failing to support this legislation will harm our military readiness, shut down the government, and prove the prior social media posts and statements made by Senator Stabenow to be nothing more than a political ploy." |
