| https://baird.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1437 | Rep. Baird Statement on the American Relief Act | 2024-12-20 | 2024 | 2024-12 | Republican | House | IN | James R. Baird | B001307 | baird.house.gov | baird | https://baird.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | Today, Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) released the following statement after voting for H.R. 10545, the American Relief Act: “While this government funding bill is not perfect, I voted for the American Relief Act. This funding package contains funding for agricultural disaster assistance, $10 billion in economic assistance to farmers, and a one-year Farm Bill extension, giving our farmers some economic certainty while Congress negotiates a full reauthorization that puts our farmers first. This bill contains much-needed relief for Americans hit hard by natural disasters, such as Hurricanes Milton and Helene. With these provisions, House Republicans are providing Americans impacted by the recent natural disasters with the support they need. This package also continues to place certain fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs at a time when record amounts of fentanyl have been trafficked across our open borders under the Biden-Harris Administration and devastated our communities. Finally, this legislation also removes many of the pork-filled, Christmas tree provisions of the previous package and will fund the government until March 2025 when Republicans will have more control over the funding decisions and deliver on the mandate of the American people.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
