As we take our place at the negotiating table, my Democratic colleagues and I are committed to forging a path to a sensible budget agreement that recognizes the struggle and challenges of our country’s most vulnerable. "America needs a budget that prioritizes working and middle class families above special interests and our nation’s wealthiest. With the help of Congressman Chris Van Hollen, Ranking Member on the Budget Committee, and Congressman John Yarmuth of Kentucky, we will work towards a budget that provides a vehicle for job creation, deficit reduction, and economic prosperity for all. "I will do everything in my power to ensure that students, seniors, and working and middle class Americans are seen as a central priority in brokering a final spending framework for FY 2016. Rest assured that their interests will be represented and their voices will be heard as we craft an equitable and just budget." ### |
