Amidst the chaos and confusion of infrastructure and reconciliation this week, there was a very important vote in the Senate yesterday. I spent a lot of time this spring talking about my Roadmap to Reform package – it included the No Budget, No Pay Act, a bill that would withhold pay from members of the US House and Senate if we don’t pass a budget and all regular appropriations bills by the October 1st deadline outlined in the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. A lot of people in DC told me that bill would never go anywhere, that politicians would never vote to hold themselves accountable. Yesterday, 53 Senators did, including 8 Democrats. There’s an appetite for this in Congress. There is support for reform, and it’s coming from both sides of the aisle. I’m really encouraged by this vote in the Senate yesterday, and I hope to be able to get my House colleagues on the record on this issue soon. The American people deserve a Congress that works for the PEOPLE, not the politicians.
