Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) issued the following statement after voting against H.R. 7791 and H.R. 7790 Wednesday evening.

"The only way to get more formula to American families is to fix the crony policies that prevent more U.S. companies from producing it, remove barriers to innovation, and allow imports from trusted nations; the legislation Democrats put forward does none of that.

Instead, the bills would empower a demonstrably incompetent executive branch while funneling millions of taxpayer dollars to the FDA, without making any reforms necessary to get formula back on store shelves.

This shortage is the direct result of unnecessary federal regulations and of a bloated bureaucracy that failed to recognize the problem before it spiraled out of control. This body should be solving problems, not making them worse."
