Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the following statement after passage of the House Budget Committee’s fiscal year 2016 budget, A Balanced Budget for a Stronger America: 

“One of our most fundamental congressional duties is passing a budget for a governing majority, and I am especially proud to support the passage of this Balanced Budget for a Stronger America.  This budget provides an essential roadmap to lead America off our fiscally-reckless path by cutting $5.5 trillion in spending, repealing Obamacare, making critical reforms to mandatory programs, and ultimately balancing in a decade, while raising no new taxes and ensuring our nation’s defense remains uncompromised.  I applaud its passage.”

Congressman Steve Womack has represented Arkansas’s Third Congressional District since 2011 and serves on the House Appropriations Defense, Financial Services and General Government, and Labor-Health and Human Services subcommittees and the House Committee on the Budget.
