Rep Walberg issued the following statement after being sworn into the 113thCongress today:
"It is an honor and privilege to represent the people of the 7th district in the 113th Congress, with the addition of Monroe County this year. For the next two years, I will work hard to promote fiscal responsibility and responsible policies that encourage job creation in Michigan and across the country. I am ready to begin working in this new Congress to make our nation stronger now, and for future generations."
Today Rep Walberg voted in favor of H.R. 6726, the Congressional Pay Freeze and Fiscal Responsibility Act, to extend the current pay freeze for federal employees and Members of Congress for one year. H.R. 6726 passed with bipartisan support by a vote of 287 - 129.
Rep Tim Walberg released the following statement on his vote against today's year-end tax plan:
"I am extremely disappointed after all the negotiations and effort that went into avoiding the so-called ‘fiscal cliff', the president and Congress again put off meaningful action to reduce spending and secure the future for our children and grandchildren. Again, with our economy struggling, it's clear that Washington missed an opportunity to promote tax and spending policies that will grow our economy over the long-term.
