Gosar Votes Against Government Funding Bill

We promised to decrease wasteful government spending, build a border wall and protect the unborn. Instead, leadership rolled over and gave into the demands of open border Democrats.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Representative Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S (AZ-04) released the following statement after voting against the Conference Report to Accompany H.R. 6157 - Department of Defense and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act and Continuing Appropriations Act:

“While providing funds for our nation’s defense is critical, today’s funding bill failed to deliver on the promises we made to the American people. We promised to decrease wasteful government spending, build a border wall and protect the unborn. Instead, leadership rolled over and gave into the demands of open border Democrats. In an effort to keep our promise, I joined a few of my conservative colleagues in offering amendments to fully fund the wall; however, leadership denied these efforts. Unfortunately, even with Republicans in control of the Senate and the House, leadership continues to fold to Democrat priorities and fails to deliver on our promises.”
