House Republican leaders and committee chairs have issued a joint statement on budget reconciliation. The statement, made by Speaker Johnson, Leader Scalise, Whip Emmer, and Chairwoman McClain, was supported by the chairmen of several House Committees involved in the budget process: Thompson, Rogers, Arrington, Guthrie, Walberg, Hill, Green, Jordan, Westerman, Comer, Graves, and Smith.
The statement highlighted that “House Republicans took the lead and passed a bill to fund the government through the end of the fiscal year.” It emphasized their commitment to advancing President Trump’s “full America First agenda.”
“The House is determined to send the president one big, beautiful bill that secures our border,” they said. The objectives include maintaining low taxes for families and businesses, fostering economic growth, restoring American energy dominance, ensuring peace through strength, and enhancing government efficiency and accountability.
The statement further noted that passing a budget resolution weeks ago was just the beginning. They urged Senate colleagues to support this initiative upon returning to Washington. “We look forward to the Senate joining us in this commitment,” they stated.
“This is our opportunity to deliver what will be one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in the history of our nation,” concluded the leaders. “Working together, we will get it done.”
