Rep. Celeste Maloy Explains Support for Continuing Resolution (CR) to Fund Government

Rationale for Supporting the CR

• 🎯 As a new member of Congress and the Appropriations Committee, Representative Maloy supports the Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government.
• 💡 She ran on a platform of rightsizing government, cutting overreach, and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.

Addressing Waste and Priorities

• 🔍 The CR provides time for Congress and the Administration to identify and address waste, fraud, and abuse within government spending.
• 💰 It allows for focused efforts on necessary spending increases, such as the significant raise for junior enlisted military officers.
• ✅ Maloy believes this approach avoids "poison pills" and is the best path forward for the American people and her constituents.

Constitutional Duty

• 🏛️ As a new appropriator, Maloy is committed to fulfilling the constitutional duty of controlling the purse strings and appropriating funds for the upcoming year.
