Reduce wasteful government spending that is driving inflation
I will reduce wasteful government spending.
Occurrences
Supports a Balanced Budget Amendment to force Washington to spend only what we have, and requirements to pass a full budget on-time, every year
Evidence
The campaign issues page says Mackenzie's plan includes: 'Reduce wasteful government spending that is driving inflation.'
The House clerk records that on Sep. 10, 2025, Rep. Ryan Mackenzie voted 'No' on an amendment to H.R. 3838 in Roll Call 250.
Congress.gov states that Public Law No. 119-21, enacted July 4, 2025, 'reduces taxes, reduces or increases spending for various federal programs,' and notes reconciliation instructions aimed at deficit reduction.
Assessments
Mackenzie promised to reduce wasteful government spending. The evidence shows same-term action related to spending restraint, including participation in appropriations votes and enactment of Public Law 119-21, which Congress.gov describes as reducing or increasing spending for various federal programs and including deficit-reduction reconciliation components. However, the record provided does not establish that wasteful government spending was broadly or specifically reduced as promised, nor does it isolate Mackenzie's role beyond voting/legislative participation. This supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
