WASSERMAN SCHULTZ STATEMENT ON CROMNIBUS VOTE

WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) released the following statement this evening regarding her ‘yea’ vote on the cromnibus bill:

“As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I know that House and Senate appropriators worked hard on a spending package to fund our government for the rest of the fiscal year. As in any difficult compromise, the parties involved will find some items hard to accept, but I am proud of Democratic efforts to keep dozens of additional extreme GOP measures out of this bill. Faced with the alternative of a government shutdown and the reality of a Republican majority in the next Congress, I voted to ensure that the values of my constituents are more fully reflected in this budget that passed with Democratic input.”
