Fedorchak votes in support of House budget resolution, paving the way for America First Agenda
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) today voted in support of H. Con. Res. 14, the House budget resolution, which will lay the foundation for policies that secure America’s future, including tax relief, energy independence, and border security.
“America is at a turning point. The last four years of reckless spending, weak border policies, and attacks on American energy have made life harder for working families. But now, Republicans are taking action. Tonight, I voted in support of the House budget resolution—paving the way for policies that will secure our border, unleash energy production, provide tax relief, cut wasteful spending, and restore economic prosperity,” Fedorchak said.
The budget resolution acts as a framework for the reconciliation bill. Through the reconciliation bill, House Republicans will extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. If the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expires, it would trigger a 22% tax increase for the average American family, slash the child tax credit in half for 40 million families, and reduce the death tax exemption for 2 million family farms. A median-income family of four would face an additional $1,700 in taxes each year.
“House Republicans are committed to extending these tax cuts to keep more money in the pockets of hardworking Americans and out of the massive, unaccountable federal bureaucracy,” Fedorchak continued. “With this framework in place, we will now get to work on policies to deliver President Trump’s America First agenda to make life more affordable, more secure, and more prosperous for Americans.”
In addition to addressing tax policy, the resolution focuses on fiscal responsibility, stabilizing essential government programs for the future, and cutting wasteful spending.
“Our national debt now exceeds $36 trillion—more than $295,000 per American household. Imagine running up nearly $300,000 in credit card debt, with no plan to pay it off, and then getting another card to keep spending. That’s exactly what Washington has done,” Fedorchak added. “This isn’t just a number—it’s a burden on our children and grandchildren. Every dollar we borrow weakens our economy, fuels inflation, and makes us dependent on foreign lenders like China. Tonight is the beginning of the end of that recklessness.”
