WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) voted in favor of the End the Border Catastrophe Act, Indo-Pacific Security Supplemental Appropriations Act and Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act and against the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act.
"When the country is more than $34.5 trillion in debt and bad actors threaten the United States' border and our allies across the globe, it's imperative that we make strategic spending choices and respect taxpayer dollars," said Rep. Estes. "Some of the most pressing issues facing our nation include securing our southern border, supporting our strongest Middle Eastern ally Israel and countering the Chinese Communist Party in the Indo-Pacific region – today I voted for three critical bills that address these threats. I've previously voted for Russian sanctions as Ukraine faces unprovoked aggression from a tyrant, but the $60.8 billion bill that the House passed today was too much for me to support when the United States has already spent more than $100 billion on Ukraine aid." |
