Remarks
Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the consolidated appropriations package before the House today. With this legislation, we are a step closer to completing full-year appropriations that right-size our priorities with updated funding levels. As Chairman of the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Subcommittee, I’d like to highlight the THUD division of this package. But, before I do, I’d like to thank Subcommittee Ranking Member Jim Clyburn for his partnership. The THUD division is a deliberate shift away from bloated bureaucracy and unfocused spending, and back toward the core responsibilities of the federal government.
