WASHINGTON -Rep. Smucker (PA-11), Vice Chair of the House Budget Committee, voted in support of S. Con. Res. 33 - FY26 Budget Resolution, which passed the House by a vote of 215-211, 1.
Rep. Smucker made the following statement after voting in support of the measure:
"This resolution fulfills Congress's number one duty-to ensure the safety and security of all Americans.
For over 70 days, Democrats refused to provide the resources our brave law enforcement officers need to keep us safe. Republicans have consistently voted to support our troops, fund border patrol, and pay our law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every single day to protect our communities.
Supporting this resolution puts Americans' safety first and is a step in the right direction toward achieving fiscal responsibility. This resolution includes a 3 percent deficit-to-GDP target-a responsible and achievable goal to restore fiscal balance and address our nation's growing debt.
We've secured our border, passed historic tax relief, and are advancing our pro-growth agenda to help American families. We cannot let Democrats risk American lives for political purposes any longer. Republicans are committed to using every tool in the toolbox to continue delivering on our promise to Americans."
