If a funding bill is a reflection of priorities,the omnibus is the clearest snapshot of what’s wrong with our nation today.

If we pass this bill, we will have worked together to keep America down for generations to come.

Working families need funding that supports their needs. They need a tax code that promotes the middle class.

They need funding for higher education that would allow them to graduate without debt.

They need more support for our highways, bridges, rail systems, and broader infrastructure...

...the kind of projects that create good paying jobs, and make every community stronger.

A funding bill compromise shouldn’t compromise the needs of families across the country who are relying on us to get this right.

Any extension of tax credits needs to protect & uplift everyday Americans. We can’t afford to pass them without a plan to pay for them.
