Fitzgerald Statement on Appropriations Bills

By U.S. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald - Sep 29th, 2023 11:40 am

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement following passage of three appropriations bills for the Department of Defense (H.R. 4365), Homeland Security (H.R. 4367), and State and Foreign Operations (H.R. 4665).

“House Republicans delivered big wins in passing these three appropriations bills for the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and State and Foreign Operations,” said Rep. Fitzgerald. “These bills included a pay increase for service members, eliminated taxpayer funding for abortions, and secured additional funds for border patrol and wall construction, just to name a few. Notably, there was no funding for Ukraine included in these bills—funding which I strongly oppose in the absence of legitimate oversight and defined end goals. I look forward to building on this momentum with my colleagues to pass the remaining appropriations bills.”
