He also serves as the representative from the House Armed Services Committee.\n\n\u201cI am beyond excited to be appointed to serve on the House Budget Committee,\u201d said Congressman Blake Moore. \u201cAddressing our national budget issues has been the focus of much of my work both in Washington and in Utah\u2019s First Congressional District. It is imperative that we rein in our federal spending and get our fiscal house back in order so we can chart a course forward that will ensure prosperity for the next generation. I thank Leader McCarthy, Ranking Member Mike Rogers, and Ranking Member Jason Smith for recognizing my work, passion, and vision for how we can address these issues and for including me in this important committee. I look forward to getting to work.\u201d\n\n\u201cI\u2019m proud to have a fighter like Rep. Blake Moore joining us as our newest member of the House Budget Committee,\u201d said House Budget Committee Ranking Member Jason Smith (R-MO). \u201cHe joins us at a pivotal time as American families are facing record inflation driven by massive new government spending, and as House Democrats are reviving their calls to pass President Biden\u2019s Build Back Broke agenda, which would spend trillions more. Blake has already established himself as a vocal critic of wasteful Washington spending in Utah and we look forward to having him join us on the Budget Committee in our fight to return fiscal sanity to Washington.\u201d\n\nThe House Budget Committee is responsible for passing an annual budget resolution outlining government spending allocations and priorities. Congressman Moore was recognized by House Republican Leadership for his work on the Debt and Deficit Task Force he convened in Ogden, Utah, with local leaders to create a framework of solutions for how the federal government can address our national debt and deficit crisis. He was also recently named a 2022 Fiscal Hero by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. This is Congressman Moore\u2019s third committee assignment, in addition to his roles on the House Armed Services and Natural Resources Committees.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:13:54Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://blakemoore.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-blake-moore-appointed-house-budget-committee"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7970679327845573, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
