Dexter Votes Against Blank Check to Elon Musk

WASHINGTON, D.C — Today, Congresswoman Maxine Dexter, M.D. (OR-03) released the following statement on House Republicans’ funding bill, which slashes nearly $23 billion in veterans’ benefits, jeopardizes Social Security, cuts nutrition assistance, and claws back infrastructure investments in Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District.  

“House Republicans are dead set on hurtling from one fiscal cliff to the next to appease unelected billionaire Elon Musk.   

“They refused to do their jobs and actually negotiate a budget. Their continuing resolution is nothing but a blank check to the Trump-Musk administration to dismantle the services my community depends on.  

“I remain deeply committed to averting a Republican-fueled government shutdown, which serves no one, but I cannot, in good conscience, support this bill.”
