"This is an important committee in determining federal spending levels. I am looking forward to playing a hands-on role in the budget process," Jordan said. "This opportunity will help me continue working toward one of my top priorities: keeping federal spending under control." The Budget Committee sets the framework for consideration of the 12 annual spending bills that fund government activities. It also oversees the Congressional Budget Office and holds regular hearings on federal spending. Republican Leader John Boehner (R-West Chester) said that Jordan earned the chance to serve on the committee during his active first year in Congress. "Jim really hit the ground running in Congress, making his passion for limited government well known. His hard work will be an asset not only to the committee, but to taxpayers and families across Ohio and the nation," Boehner said. Budget Committee Ranking Republican Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) welcomed Jordan, noting that "the Budget Committee plays a key role in addressing some of our nation's most pressing challenges, among them: balancing the budget without raising taxes, promoting sustained economic growth, slowing the growth of federal spending, and addressing the coming entitlement crisis." "Jim Jordan has a solid conservative record, and has worked hard to ensure that Ohioans'--and all Americans'--tax dollars are being spent wisely. He will be a great addition to the Budget Committee," he added. Jordan will join Ohioans Patrick J. Tiberi (R-Galena) and Marcy Kaptur (D-Toledo) on the committee, which is chaired by Congressman John M. Spratt, Jr. (D-South Carolina). Former Ohio Congressman John Kasich chaired the committee from 1995 to 2000. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:14:27Z |
