In a recent statement, Congressman Mike Ezell expressed his opposition to the Senate Amendment to H.R. 2872, the Further Additional Continuing Appropriations and other Extensions Act. Ezell stated, “I came to Washington to change how things operate. We can’t keep extending out-of-control spending levels while doing nothing to secure our southern border. That’s why I voted against a clean continuing resolution last year and why I voted against another one today.”

Ezell’s decision to vote against the continuing resolution stems from his belief that the current pattern of excessive spending without addressing border security is unsustainable. He emphasizes his commitment to bringing about change and ensuring the safety of the southern border.

The Congressman’s stance aligns with his previous voting record, as he had also voted against a similar continuing resolution last year. His consistent opposition to clean continuing resolutions demonstrates his dedication to his principles and the need for a more comprehensive approach to addressing the country’s fiscal and security challenges.

Ezell’s statement reflects his determination to fulfill his promises to his constituents and make a meaningful impact in Washington. By voting against the continuing resolution, he aims to draw attention to the urgency of securing the southern border and addressing the issue of excessive spending.

As the debate on appropriations and border security continues, Congressman Mike Ezell remains steadfast in his commitment to effecting change and advocating for the interests of his constituents.
