Schmidt Votes to Continue Spending Reforms

WASHINGTON, DC: Congressman Derek Schmidt (KS-02) released the following statement after voting today in favor of H.R. 1968, which freezes federal discretionary spending through September 30, 2025.

“Federal spending has grown unsustainably in recent years and has exploded since the pandemic,” Congressman Schmidt said. “Our national debt is more than $36 trillion. I told Kansans that as their congressman, I will be part of the solution to this serious problem – and this bill is a small step in the right direction. This bill freezes federal spending slightly below current levels to prevent a costly government shutdown that would delay or derail the America First agenda that Kansans voted for by a large margin. Enacting this bill is important to make clear we are serious about reforming how Washington does business.”
