Hageman Votes NO on CR that Fails to Include SAVE Act
Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted against a continuing resolution that increases government spending while simultaneously failing to protect federal elections from illegal voters.
Representative Hageman stated, “I heard from constituents across Wyoming who made clear there should be no consideration of a continuing resolution without protecting our elections. CRs are bad fiscal policy that prevent Congress from addressing real substantive issues while also failing to curb excessive spending. Not only does this CR fail to include the SAVE Act, which is critical to protecting federal elections from illegal voting, but it increases spending beyond the bloated amounts that have put our country $35.4 trillion in debt. This CR is also set to expire on December 20th, thereby setting us up to vote on an omnibus spending bill right before Christmas, not to mention the fact that it will be chock full of reckless spending and even more bad policies. The very tactic that we have decried for years – end of year massive omnibus spending designed to force a vote before the holidays – is once again standard operating procedure. Americans deserve better.”
