Republican Policy Committee Chairman Kevin Hern (OK-01) voted in favor of the Senate Amendment to H. Con. Res. 14, the budget framework for the reconciliation process. This vote unlocks the next step in reconciliation, where committees of jurisdiction will draft policy language to meet the budget targets. 

“Thanks to President Trump, Republicans have this rare opportunity to utilize every lever of the federal government to enact historic legislation that helps Americans and moves our country forward,” said Chairman Hern. “This is what the American people voted for in November. They want Congress to deliver on the America First agenda. The hard part is still ahead of us: crafting the specific policies to both enact President Trump’s agenda and cut wasteful and fraudulent spending across the government. I’m ready to roll my sleeves up and get to work!”
