Huizenga Votes "No" on Omnibus
Washington,
December 23, 2022
Congressman Huizenga released the following statement on Facebook after voting "no" on the omnibus.
Today I voted against the $1.7 trillion omnibus. This is not how Congress should fulfill its duty to budget and fund government. Rather than using the omnibus to fast track unrelated non spending policies, we should return all of our work to regular order. Republicans in the House and Senate must make a concerted effort to fix this broken appropriations process and properly fund government in the next Congress. Republicans must also end proxy voting. It is shameful that over half the House of Representatives did not show up to vote in person. Americans elected their representatives to serve and then their representatives don't even bother to show up. I am driving back to West Michigan from Washington D.C. As you know the weather conditions are not great. Please stay safe everyone! |
