Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Weber (TX-14) released the following statement after voting against the continuing resolution:

"The American people cannot afford the status quo. Our nation is $33.6 trillion in debt, and our border is exploding. It is imperative we change the direction our nation is headed. We need policy change, border security, and to restore fiscal sanity, not continue the same reckless spending. That is exactly why I voted against this continuing resolution. I will continue to fight for change for Texans and the American people. Going forward, I believe Mike Johnson was chosen to lead the House at such a time as this and I trust Speaker Johnson will be the impetus to set us on the right path and make bold changes for the American people."
