Brat Calls for Senate Action on CHIP Reauthorization | 2017-12-13 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Republican | House | VA | David Brat | B001290 | brat.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON - Rep. Brat (R-Va.) released the following statement after joining with Reps. Bob Goodlatte (Va.-06), Rob Wittman (Va.-01), Scott Taylor (Va.-02), Tom Garrett (Va.-05), and Barbara Comstock (Va.-10) to send a letter addressed to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuch Schumer (D-NY) calling for swift passage of the CHAMPIONING HEALTHY Kids Act to reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). “I have every confidence that both the House and Senate can work in a bipartisan fashion to guarantee there is no lapse in funding for CHIP recipients in Virginia. It is disappointing to see some individuals play political games to unnecessarily worry Virginia parents. “Last week the House included legislative language in our funding bill to ensure sufficient funding through the end of the year for CHIP. In the same manner, I know the House and Senate will ensure any additional funding bills provide the program with the necessary resources. Both sides of the aisle agree CHIP is a vital program that benefits countless Virginia families and so folks back home can rest assured and know we are committed to fully funding and reauthorizing it in the future.” Read the full text of the letter here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
