LaMalfa Responds to Deal to Raise Spending Caps
July 25, 2019
(Washington, DC) – Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) issued the following statement after voting against H.R. 3877, the Bipartisan Budget Act.
LaMalfa said: "While there are important portions I agree with in this bill, like eliminating the threat of a shutdown or default and an agreement to prevent the inclusion of partisan ‘poison pills' into future appropriations bills, the amount of funding allowed under this deal is simply more than the United States can afford. America has a spending problem and it needs to be reined in so that our children aren't the ones paying the price."
Congressman Doug LaMalfa is a lifelong farmer representing California's First Congressional District, including Butte, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou and Tehama Counties.
