House Republicans Pass Legislative Branch Funding Bill that Fails to Move the Institution Forward

Press Release

"As an institution, we should be increasing our ability to serve our constituents and recruit and retain talented staff and United States Capitol Police Officers, not merely treading water or cutting. We made progress last Congress, but this bill takes us back. The House Republican playbook is clear. They have chosen to renege on the agreement made by Speaker McCarthy and President Biden so they can implement dangerous cuts that will lead to hundreds of thousands of families losing their homes and the child care that helps them keep their jobs, eliminate job training programs that boost our economy, and kick teachers out of classrooms and local cops off the street. Beyond the fact that Republicans are leading us on a path toward shutting down the government, this bill falls short of ensuring we can sustain a strong and well-functioning Legislative Branch that is essential to our democracy. Today, House Republicans passed more messaging bills that do not bring us closer to a final bipartisan agreement needed to pass 2024 spending."
