Phil Roe, M.D. (R-TN) released the following statement after voting in support of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act: “The budget agreement, while imperfect, has numerous provisions that will help our state. For the past six years, I’ve heard from East Tennesseans on a wide array of issues, but because our government has been operating under a continuing resolution, we haven’t been able to roll back some of the policies enacted in the first few years of the Obama administration. “While traveling around the district I’ve heard from folks concerned about the IRS targeting, the runaway EPA, Obamacare and President Obama’s executive overreach on immigration. This agreement will prohibit the IRS from targeting organizations because of their political or ideological beliefs; keep the EPA from regulating lead content in ammunition and fishing tackle while also cutting their funding for the fifth consecutive year; and reduces funding for the Independent Payment Advisory Board, which I’ve worked on since the Affordable Care Act’s passage. This bill funds important infrastructure projects while keeping one of the largest economic drivers in the First District – the Great Smoky Mountains National Park – open. “Perhaps most importantly, by only extending funding for the Department of Homeland Security until the end of February, this bill ensures the new Republican-led Congress will have the opportunity to address the president’s executive action on immigration early in the new year. I believe it’s important we get to work on immigration as soon as the 114th Congress convenes.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
