Sen. Cramer Receives the Fiscal Hero Award from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget

Press Release

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), member of the Senate Budget Committee, announced he received the 2022 Fiscal Hero Award from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget's Fix the Debt project.

"I am honored to receive the Fiscal Hero Award from the Fix the Debt project," said Senator Cramer. "It is imperative we take action to reduce our national debt and stop treating money like it grows on trees. As a member of Congress, it is my duty to craft and support fiscally responsible legislation on behalf of North Dakota and the American people to ensure future generations are set up for long-term, economic success."

"With inflation at a 40-year high, the national debt reaching near-record levels, and our major trust funds facing looming insolvency over the next decade, our country faces daunting fiscal challenges. Addressing our fiscal challenges requires policymakers in Washington who distinguish themselves by their leadership and political courage, and our Fiscal Heroes are doing just that. We applaud our Fiscal Heroes for their commitment to getting our nation on a more sustainable fiscal path," said Maya MacGuineas, President of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and Head of Fix the Debt.

Fiscal Heroes are awarded each Congress to recognize policymakers working to improve the nation's fiscal situation and fix the budget process. Fiscal Heroes have distinguished themselves by pushing their party leaders to make debt a priority, leading bipartisan efforts to work through policy options to fix the debt and the budget process, taking responsible votes, participating in fiscally focused events, using their town hall meetings to engage and educate constituents, delivering floor speeches to raise awareness about the issue, advocating to keep tough choices on the table, and introducing legislation to improve the budget process and the nation's fiscal position.
