Indiana Republican pledges to vote against advancing GOP bills if McCarthy doesnt enact spending reforms
BY EMILY BROOKS - 07/18/23 12:12 PM ET
Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) said she does not plan to vote in favor of advancing any GOP bills due to her utmost dissatisfaction with the lack of leadership dealing with the fiscal state of our nation.
In a letter to Speaker Kevin McCarhty (R-Calif.) on Tuesday, Spartz complained about discretionary spending that is not authorized by Congress, mandatory spending that Congress has not addressed, and ineffective oversight.
As you know, we can wipe our *** (you know what) with all letters and grandiose statements we are sending to the executive branch. Only money matters, Spartz said.
The Indiana congresswoman said she planned to oppose all GOP rule votes, which are procedural votes that govern consideration of legislation on the House floor. A failed rule vote can block legislation from coming to the floor.
I am planning to oppose all Republican rules going forward until Congress starts exercising its constitutional duties, Spartz said.
