I will continue to seek areas that merit cuts in spending.
Seek areas where federal spending can be cut.
Occurrences
The blueprint outlines that we will identify any opportunities for savings, and the obvious first step is rooting out any abuses of taxpayer dollars in the federal government and rolling back burdensome Biden-era policies.
Evidence
Amodei said he is not going to second-guess COVID-era spending, but 'doesn’t want to green light other bills, such as the Build Back Better Act, which he described as "agenda-driven spending."'
Amodei said the House budget resolution 'outlines that we will identify any opportunities for savings' and that 'the obvious first step is rooting out any abuses of taxpayer dollars in the federal government and rolling back burdensome Biden-era policies.'
Congress.gov records that H.R.8752 was introduced by Rep. Amodei and passed the House on 06/28/2024; the bill is the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2025.
Congress.gov shows H.R.4364 was introduced by Rep. Amodei and passed the House on 11/01/2023; the bill is the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2024.
Amodei said, 'I agree we must make meaningful cuts to shrink our federal deficit,' though he voted against the $9.4 billion rescissions request because of local impacts.
Amodei said the package 'is a fiscally responsible package that cuts billions in spending' and 'demonstrates a stronger approach to governing that delivers cost-saving results for taxpayers.'
Assessments
The promise was to seek areas where federal spending can be cut, which is an effort-oriented commitment rather than a guarantee of a specific enacted dollar amount. Evidence shows Amodei repeatedly supported identifying savings, endorsed cuts in budget statements, sponsored or advanced appropriations vehicles, and publicly backed packages framed as cutting spending. However, the record provided does not establish a clearly completed, attributable federal spending reduction outcome broad enough to mark the promise fully delivered, and one cited rescissions vote shows he opposed a cuts package due to local impacts. Overall, he made concrete same-term efforts consistent with the promise, but fulfillment is only partial.
