Webster Votes to Pass Conservative Budget Plan to Advance President Trump’s Agenda
February 25, 2025
Washington, D.C. — Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, voted to pass H. Con. Res. 14, a budget resolution that establishes budgetary targets and instructs congressional committees to draft reconciliation legislation that will cut wasteful spending, strengthen our economy, and restore fiscal responsibility in Washington.
“This budget resolution is a first, critical step toward implementing President Trump’s full agenda, and delivering on the promises made to the American people,” said Rep. Webster. “House Republicans’ budget resolution paves the way for historic reforms that ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, and Americans can keep their hard-earned dollars, while also strengthening our border security to keep our communities safe.”
H. Con. Res. 14 does not cut or fund any specific programs. Just as hardworking Americans must decide how much of their salary they will spend every year, this resolution sets top-level spending guidelines fiscal years 2025 through 2034. Under the bill, the U.S. deficit must be reduced nearly $1.5 trillion dollars over the next 10 years.
Next steps are for individual Congressional Committees to meet to develop and pass individual legislation that reduces and prioritizes spending in their areas of jurisdiction. The bill directs committees must prioritize spending on programs and policies that will create jobs, revitalize the American economy and unleash American energy.
Webster further remarked, “By rejecting the Washington presumption that nothing can be cut from the budget in order to fund priorities without increasing the deficit, I am confident we can develop a budget that protects key programs and veteran benefits. I cannot support pulling the rug out from Americans that contributed to Social Security and Medicare for decades and now rely on them in retirement. I am committed to working with my colleagues in Congress and President Trump to ensure we are delivering results for the American people.”
