WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Tracey Mann (KS-01) took a firm stand against the Further Consolidation Appropriations Act, 2024, voting against it during the recent session in Congress. The bill, aimed at exceeding bipartisan spending caps set under the Fiscal Responsibility Act and bypassing the regular order on passing individual appropriation bills, faced opposition from Rep. Mann, who voiced concerns over the impact on taxpayers.

In a statement following the vote, Rep. Mann emphasized, "Kansans are tired of Washington recklessly spending their hard-earned tax dollars." He further expressed his disapproval of the rushed nature of the legislation, stating, "Today's minibus legislation is more of the same last-minute scrambling to fund the government and further fuels the government spending crisis. We must reduce and reprioritize federal spending through the normal budgetary process and pass 12 fiscally responsible appropriation bills. I have fought to do that and will keep working to get America back on track."

The Further Consolidation Appropriations Act, 2024, passed in the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 286-134 as the second part of an estimated $1.6 trillion spending bill. The legislation will now move to the U.S. Senate for further consideration. Rep. Mann had previously voted against the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024, which was passed in the House earlier in March.

Rep. Mann's consistent stance against what he views as excessive government spending underscores his commitment to fiscal responsibility and accountability. His opposition to the bloated spending packages reflects a dedication to representing the interests of his constituents in Kansas and advocating for prudent financial management at the federal level.
