Press Release

Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-NY), Ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, issued the following statement on the rescissions package President Trump submitted to Congress today:

“The Trump-Mulvaney rescissions package is a raw deal for the American people. Cutting children’s health insurance without reinvesting in other vital health care programs will cause serious pain for American families. Likewise, slashing investments in rural infrastructure, medical innovation, and community development robs the American people of opportunities for better jobs and better futures.

“Congress must reject this reckless proposal, which undoes years of careful bipartisan work. Instead of dragging our country backwards, House Democrats are committed to offering working families A Better Deal.”
