Flood said the CRA resolution would "nullify" the CFPB rule and that "Rolling back this regulation is critical"; the release says the legislation "cuts red tape" and "eliminates barriers to innovation."

Flood said, "Passing all 12 appropriations bills brings fiscal restraint to federal spending while also delivering key investments across Nebraska’s First District," and the release says the bills provided more than $26 million in federal dollars for district projects.

Flood also backed substantial federal spending and local earmarks, which cuts against a simple reading that he made government smaller overall.
