Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today named House Democratic Members to serve on a conference committee on the Interior-Environment, Financial Services, Transportation-HUD, and Agriculture Appropriations bills.
"Congress has a responsibility to fight for the health, safety and well-being of hard-working Americans in every corner of the country," Leader Pelosi said. "Yet, this GOP Congress and Administration have continuously failed the American people by selling off public lands, gutting consumer and environmental protections, undermining access to affordable housing and pushing a radical, partisan Farm Bill that leaves farmers and hungry families out in the cold.
Through 12 Committee markups this year, House Appropriations Committee Democrats have offered nearly 150 amendments to stand up for our values and push back on President Trump and the Republicans’ backwards agenda. While Republicans have defeated many of these important amendments, House Democrats have succeeded in forcing important debates and putting Republicans on the record, laying down a marker for the battles that lie ahead.
Everyone in this room knows how to avoid another season of showdowns and shutdowns. Instead of trying everything else first, why not do the right thing now? Why not produce bipartisan bills that reflect bipartisan priorities across all twelve subcommittees, and then take them to the floor and pass them, on budget and on time?
This Committee should do more to help Americans struggling to make ends meet and put a roof over their heads, not waste taxpayer dollars on Trump’s boondoggle of a wall or let the Secretary of Transportation hire more political cronies.
