Stop out of Control Spending and Balance the Budget
Stop out-of-control spending and balance the budget.
Occurrences
Evidence
The campaign issues page lists "Reduce the Federal Debt" as one of Julie Fedorchak’s core priorities.
Fedorchak voted yea on the House budget resolution for fiscal year 2025, H. Con. Res. 14, which set budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.
Fedorchak introduced H.R. 2838 to phase out clean electricity production and investment credits for wind and solar energy.
Fedorchak said that fully tackling the federal deficit requires reducing federal spending and advancing pro-growth policies.
Fedorchak said she voted to advance a FY26 appropriations package that cuts current spending levels by more than $9 billion and codifies FY25 rescissions.
Assessments
Fedorchak made the promise as part of her campaign platform and took same-term spending-related actions, including supporting a budget resolution, introducing a subsidy phaseout bill, and voting to advance appropriations with stated spending cuts. However, the promised outcome was to stop out-of-control spending and balance the federal budget, and the evidence does not show that the federal budget was balanced or that spending was brought under control. These actions amount to serious legislative effort but not delivery of the promised outcome.
