Washington, D.C. – Today, House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) issued the following statement after House passage of a funding bill:  

“As a result of Democrats’ reckless spending and Biden’s failed economic policies, our farmers have been walking the high wire of production agriculture with effectively no safety net.

“Without passing emergency Farm Bill supplemental funding to address the catastrophic effects of historic drought and record inflation, we threaten our food supply, jeopardize our young farmers, and put entire rural communities at risk. 

“As Budget Chairman, I’m proud to have worked with Speaker Johnson and my colleagues to ensure these necessary resources were a part of any year-end funding bill. 

“Going forward, it is imperative for farmers and taxpayers alike that we move away from un-budgeted, ad hoc emergency spending by fixing the Farm Bill’s broken safety net.

“I’m honored to have worked with Speaker Johnson and the GOP House leadership to deliver disaster relief, clear the way for President Trump’s America First agenda, and secure a commitment to significantly reduce deficit spending through reconciliation next year. 

“Republicans are uniting under the leadership of President Trump and Speaker Johnson to close out the disastrous four years of the Biden-Harris administration and pave the way for a safer and more prosperous future for America.”
