Walz Votes to Prevent Default, Reduce Deficit

Statement

Today, Rep. Tim Walz released the below statement following his vote to prevent the United States from defaulting on our financial obligations:

"After a frustrating process that took far too long, I am glad we finally reached an agreement and acted tonight to avoid a default. This compromise is not perfect. Compromises never are. But as someone who believes strongly that we need to reduce our debt, while also keeping the promises we have made to our seniors, to our veterans, to our soldiers, and to our children, I chose to support this legislation. Most importantly, I believe this provides our economy with stability it desperately needs during this time of recovery."
