Stauber Votes Against Raising Debt Ceiling

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08) voted against the Senate provision to raise the debt ceiling. Following the vote, Stauber made the following statement:

"Voting to raise the debt ceiling would enable President Biden and his allies in Congress to fund their $5.5 trillion tax and spend package, which is filled to the brim with pork. It is unacceptable that Democrats want to spend more money at this critical juncture instead of discussing pro-growth policies that will change the direction of our nearly $29 trillion in national debt.

"Democrats control the White House, Senate, and House – so if they want to spend trillions of dollars that we can't afford – then they can do so alone. When inflation soars to even greater heights and American families suffer as a result of their expensive policies, the blame will fall squarely upon their shoulders."
