WASHINGTON, D.C. (October 26, 2017) – Eastern Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) released the following statement following the House passage of H.Con.Res. 71, Establishing the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2018 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2019 through 2027.

“We are unlocking our historic opportunity to unleash everyone’s potential through comprehensive tax reform,” said McMorris Rodgers. “A fair, simple tax code is how we help lift up those who are left behind.
