Rothfus Supports House Appropriations Bills

Statement

Representative Keith Rothfus [PA-12] released the following statement after voting for the Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act:

"This is the first time the House has passed all 12 appropriations bills with open input from its members before the September 30th deadline since 2004. This is an objective that I have long supported," said Congressman Rothfus. "This year's spending bills include many important provisions such as protections for the sanctity of life, increased funding for our military, and significant reforms to our financial services sector. The bills also provide funding for our veterans, programs to combat the opioid epidemic, and cancer research."

He added: "The time for the Senate to act is now. Waiting until the continuing resolution runs out in December is irresponsible and dangerous for our country."
