House Appropriations Committee Chair Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) released the following statement on Representative Charlie Crist’s (D-FL-13) resignation from Congress

The House today passed H.R. 8294, a package of six fiscal year 2023 federal funding bills, on a 220 to 207 vote.

“I’m proud that this bill was able to include 98% of members community project funding requests, including from Democrats and Republicans.”

“This bill improves the quality of life on military installations, and honors servicemembers and their families once they leave these facilities, by ensuring veterans receive the care and support they earned.”

“The impact of the agriculture division is far-reaching and touches the lives of every citizen. We all eat the food, rely on the medicine and medical devices, and wear products made from fibers, such as cotton, made possible by this bill.”
