WASHINGTON — Rep. Tony Wied (WI-08) released the following statement after the House of Representatives voted to pass the Senate budget blueprint.
“Today, I voted to continue working toward a final federal budget that delivers real results for the people of Northeast Wisconsin. This is only the second step in the process, and I will continue to work until we reach a budget that puts our country back on a sound fiscal path. I want to be very clear: like President Trump, I won’t support a budget that guts Medicaid, and that is not the goal of House Republicans. I’m sure there will be plenty of fake news reports in the media and shouting from paid activist groups suggesting otherwise. However, I want to let the people of Wisconsin’s 8th District know directly—those claims are entirely untrue. House Republicans are committed to getting to a reasonable budget, extending tax cuts, and rooting out waste in our government to ensure that the American people receive the hard-earned benefits they deserve.”
