Murphy Votes Against Second FY24 Government Funding Package

Washington, D.C. — Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. issued the following statement after voting against H. Res. 1102, the second FY24 government funding package:

"As a conservative Republican, I believe engaging in a good-faith effort in budget negotiations is requisite to standing up for our values and delivering on our promises," said Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. "Despite operating with a slim majority and a divided Congress, Speaker Johnson worked diligently to meet that standard."

"However, the second government funding package contains many non-negotiable elements of which I disapprove. It lacks meaningful provisions to secure our open border, end DEI initiatives corrosive to our military, and cut federal funding for the woke social agenda Democrats are pushing on our institutions. Washington badly needs more bipartisanship and less division, but I must draw a line in the sand. I voted against the bill."
