Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the following statement after President Obama submitted his fiscal year 2015 budget request to Congress:

“President Obama’s budget is more of the same.  In it, the President calls for more spending and more taxes, and he fails to demonstrate the leadership for which the American people are looking and take steps towards getting our fiscal house in order.  While we stand ready and willing to work with the President and his administration to achieve this goal, ultimately, Congress holds the power of the purse.  As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I look forward to working with my colleagues to evaluate the President’s budget line-by-line and ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly.” 

Congressman Steve Womack represents Arkansas’s Third Congressional District and serves on the House Appropriations Committee and the Defense, Financial Services and General Government, and Labor-Health and Human Services subcommittees.
