Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Chairman, I thank the chairman of the Budget Committee for this strong resolution.

Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of the House budget resolution. This framework is an important step of protecting our elections as well as supporting our troops. As Members of Congress, we have a responsibility to the American people to safeguard the electoral process. Yet, the Senate has been unable to do so.

Over 80 percent of Americans agree that you must show proof of citizenship and ID to vote, and this budget framework moves us closer to enacting these reforms.

In addition to protecting our elections at home, U.S. servicemembers are working day and night to be sure that Americans are safe from a nuclear bomb in Iran and to advance peace in the Middle East. Our military is the most lethal fighting force known to man, and they are depending on us to help them finish the job. We must be courageous to support these men and women by supplying the resources they need.

We owe Americans secure elections along with a strong national defense to preserve our great Nation. Therefore, I urge my colleagues to support this resolution.
