Yuba-Sutter Times

Today, Congressman Doug LaMalfa issued a statement following the House's passage of the Senate Amendment to the budget resolution. This event marks an essential phase in the reconciliation process and a movement towards a balanced budget.

"Runaway spending has driven inflation and pushed costs higher across the board. This budget resolution takes an important step toward reversing that damage, bringing down energy costs, stopping a devastating tax increase, and putting us back on the path to a balanced budget without cuts to Medicare or Social Security," stated Rep. LaMalfa. "Hardworking Americans deserve policies that lower prices and strengthen our economy, not more reckless government spending. I look forward to the next steps in this process to build on this progress and deliver real relief."

Congressman Doug LaMalfa serves as Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus and has a background in farming. He represents California's First Congressional District, covering several counties including Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama, and Yuba.
