FROM CONGRESSMAN'S WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

LEBANON, OH -- This week, we passed the remainder of the FY2024 budget! This was a huge bipartisan win, supporting the American people and our federal agencies.

After five months and four Continuing Resolutions, the House passed the remainder of the budget, averting a government shutdown.

Budget Wins:

Provides $1 billion investment for increased access to affordable child care and the Head Start program.
Invests and drives resources for K-12 schools, Pell Grants, and more.
Dedicates $100 million for Alzheimer's and related research, and $120 million for cancer research.
Includes $1 billion in funding to address climate change and climate resilience.
Supports small businesses with an increase of $30 million to the Small Business Association.
$300 million to support our Ukrainian allies in their fight against Putin. They still need significantly more funding, but this is progress.
Preserves and strengthens education and job training, saving 224,000 teachers' jobs.
Protected women's rights by blocking 10 extreme riders that would have limited reproductive healthcare.

Why this win matters:

This vote demonstrates the strength of the 280+ of us in the House committed to getting things done. I'm confident this bipartisan majority will carry us to provide more support to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and aid for Palestinians.
