Congressman Moulton Statement on House Republican Budget

Press Release

Today, House Budget Committee Republicans released their alternative to President Barack Obama's budget. Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA), a member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement:

"A budget is a reflection of values and priorities. Unfortunately, this is not a budget that aligns with my values. This budget neglects our crumbling infrastructure, it leaves kids -- especially those growing up in poverty -- with an unjust education system, and it fails to invest in critical programs for our veterans.

"In the coming days I will work to find areas of common ground with my Republican colleagues and offer amendments that I believe will improve this budget. It is my hope that we reach an agreement that I can support."

Tomorrow, as a member of the House Budget Committee, Congressman Moulton will participate in a mark-up of the Republican budget during which he will offer amendments to improve the budget for students, veterans, and working families.
