WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) expressed his satisfaction with the recent passage of three appropriations bills for the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, and State and Foreign Operations. Speaking on behalf of House Republicans, Fitzgerald highlighted the significant achievements made through these bills.

In a statement, Fitzgerald remarked, "House Republicans delivered big wins in passing these three appropriations bills for the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and State and Foreign Operations. These bills included a pay increase for service members, eliminated taxpayer funding for abortions, and secured additional funds for border patrol and wall construction, just to name a few."

One notable aspect of these bills was the absence of funding for Ukraine, which Fitzgerald strongly opposes due to the lack of legitimate oversight and defined end goals. He emphasized the importance of responsible allocation of funds and expressed his commitment to ensuring proper scrutiny and accountability.

Looking ahead, Fitzgerald expressed enthusiasm for the future, stating, "I look forward to building on this momentum with my colleagues to pass the remaining appropriations bills."

The passage of these appropriations bills represents a significant step forward in addressing crucial national security and foreign operations needs. The pay increase for service members reflects the commitment of House Republicans to support those who serve and protect the country.
