Press Releases

Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the following statement after passage of the Conference Report to S. Con. Res. 11, which establishes the budget for fiscal year 2016 and budget levels for fiscal years 2017 through 2025:

“When I was elected to Congress, I made a commitment to Third District Arkansans to cut spending and to make the necessary reforms to put our nation’s finances on a sustainable path; passing a budget resolution is essential to this process.  But passing the budget resolution we have today – the first 10-year balanced budget approved by both chambers since 2001 – reflects our commitment to working together to take the important and necessary steps to get America back on track and ensure that we are not only spending responsibly, purposefully, and within our means, just like families across the Third District, but also leaving our country better than we found it for our children and grandchildren.  I was proud to support it.”  

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.
