Guest Votes Against Continuing Resolution Citing Inflation Concerns

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Michael Guest (MS-03) voted against the continuing resolution to fund the government through December 16th.

“I voted against increasing government spending at a time when Mississippians are experiencing record high inflation.  I have and will continue to fight for legislation that restricts the size of government and addresses our national debt,” Guest said.

Congressman Guest also addressed the $20 million dollars included in the bill for the City of Jackson’s water system.

“I continue to be committed to working with local, state, and federal leaders to help with long-term solutions to the Jackson water system problem, but the Continuing Resolution did not address the situation on a long-term basis. The Continuing Resolution included concerning levels of spending and a risk for additional inflation that the people of our state cannot afford,” Guest said.

Congressman Michael Guest represents Mississippi's Third Congressional District. Currently serving his second term, Congressman Guest serves as the Vice Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, as a Member of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and as a Member of the Committee on Ethics.
