We must return to normalcy by actually getting back to passing a budget. It’s time to have the courage to live within our means and stop bankrupting future generations.
Get back to passing a budget and live within the government's means.

Evidence
5/14 Roll Call #170: H.Con.Res. 75, on the resolution directing the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran, Nay. 5/13 Roll Call #159 and #160 related to H.Res. 1275, which included consideration of H.R. 8469 making appropriations for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies for FY2027, Yeas. 5/12-5/14 entries show continued floor action on spending and authorization measures.
The office published FY2026 CPF Appropriations disclosures listing multiple funding requests, including Phoenix Fire Member Services Building Renovation ($1,500,000), Law Enforcement Simulator Training Equipment ($1,900,000), Police Helicopter ($2,850,000), Police Cruisers ($1,998,000), Veterans Legal Services Hub ($1,000,000), and Radio Communications Upgrades ($2,000,000).
Assessments
Hamadeh has participated in federal spending and appropriations work during his House term, including votes on appropriations-related rules/measures and published FY2026 community project funding requests. That shows some effort toward budget process engagement. However, the promise was broader: restoring regular budget passage and living within the federal government's means. The available evidence does not show that he personally delivered a comprehensive federal budget reset, balanced-budget outcome, or sustained spending-within-means result. As a first-term House member, his role can support partial credit for participation and advancement, but not full delivery of the promised fiscal outcome.
