Congressman Keith Self Opposes $1.2 Trillion Omnibus

On March 22, 2024, Congressman Keith Self and 111 House Republicans stood in opposition to a $1.2 trillion omnibus bill that was brought forward for consideration.

In a statement, Congressman Keith Self expressed his concerns about the omnibus bill, stating, “Once again, the Establishment forced through a bloated, thousand-plus page funding bill filled with liberal poison pills and handouts for woke initiatives.” Self criticized the bill for its allocation of funds towards various controversial issues, including late-term surgical and chemical abortions, transgender surgeries, LGBT housing, and anti-gun 'studies' on firearms. He also highlighted the bill's failure to address the ongoing challenges posed by illegal immigration at the nation's borders.

Self emphasized the need to shift away from the current pattern of governance by omnibus bills and stressed the importance of returning to the core principle of fiscal responsibility to steer Washington in a different direction.

The decision to oppose the omnibus bill underscores Congressman Keith Self's commitment to advocating for a more restrained approach to government spending and a focus on addressing critical issues facing the country.
