Hill Prioritizes Funding Federal Government

Press Release

Today, Congressman French Hill (R-AR) voted for the Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act, a package of eight federal spending bills to fund the government before the new fiscal year. Rep. Hill issued the following statement after the House passed the bill:

"It has been more than twenty-one years since Congress has passed all twelve funding bills and had them signed into law before the start of the new fiscal year. It's what Americans expect of their government, and it lets Congress prioritize the spending that is necessary and best benefits our republic. I appreciate the House Appropriations Committee completing their subcommittee review and amendment process and then bringing the twelve bills to the House floor for a spending debate and vote. I was pleased that important reforms were also included in the financial services section, especially rolling back harmful provisions of Dodd-Frank. I'm proud to support this bill, and I believe it goes far toward achieving my priorities of enhanced national and homeland security, growing a healthy economy, and helping Arkansan and American families thrive.

"I urge the Senate to take up this measure, pass it, and put it on President Trump's desk."
