WASHINGTON - Congressman Dan Bishop (NC-08) voted in favor of three Appropriations bills that came to the House floor for Defense, Homeland Security, and State and Foreign Operations.

“Today, I voted to pay our troops, secure our homeland, and support our allies. Importantly, these bills also meaningfully rein in out-of-control spending and defund DEI and other woke and weaponized programs in the federal leviathan. The federal government should not be advancing radical left-wing ideology on the taxpayer’s dime,” said Bishop.

“These funding packages bring spending down to a more sustainable level and allocate dollars in a much more effective, conservative fashion than in many previous years. To fully restore constitutional government to Washington, Congress must fully exercise the power of the purse, not outsource Article I authorities to unelected bureaucrats. While not perfect, today’s legislation is a good start to ending the era of massive omnibus bills,” he added.
