Did Clay Higgins vote the way they spoke on government spending on 25 Mar 2024?
Clay Higgins, U.S. Representative (R-LA-03) ·
I opposed House Resolution 1102 because of the total level of overall spending and the removal of many Conservative policy riders through the Senate. However, I dedicated months of effort to get our community funding language included in the 12 appropriations bills that were passed through the House
Voted Nay, 22 Mar 2024
Higgins voted against the second FY2024 spending package. Three days later his office announced $4.3 million in community project funding for his district through it, including Port of Morgan City upgrades he requested.
