Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the below statement following the release of President Trump’s fiscal year (FY) 2018 Budget Blueprint to Make America Great Again:

“President Trump’s budget blueprint highlights his continued dedication to reversing the liberal legacy of the Obama Administration and ensuring America’s fiscal responsibility. Ultimately, Congress holds the power of the purse, and as a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I look forward to reviewing not only this blueprint, but also the specific details of the President’s proposed budget in the coming months. My colleagues and I will work hard to make the tough but necessary decisions on how to rebuild our military while appropriately funding the non-defense discretionary programs on which so many Americans rely.”

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