WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) joined U.S. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), House Freedom Caucus Chairman U.S. Congressman Andy Harris (R-Md.), and 25 of their Senate and House colleagues in a letter to Senate Majority Leader-Elect John Thune and Speaker Mike Johnson, expressing their full support for a two-step reconciliation strategy in the 119th Congress. In their letter, the members emphasize the need to immediately pass a transformational border security reconciliation bill, followed by the passage of a second reconciliation bill to prevent trillions of dollars in tax hikes and to slash wasteful government spending through reforms and cuts identified by the new Department of Government Efficiency.
Sens. Johnson and Scott and Rep. Harris were joined by incoming Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C), Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), and Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas), Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.), Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), Michael Cloud (R-Texas), Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.), Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), Russ Fulcher (R-Idaho), Bob Good (R-Va.), Clay Higgins (R-La.), Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), Mary Miller (R-Ill.), Barry Moore (R-Ala.), Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), Scott Perry (R-Pa.), Bill Posey (R-Fla.), Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and Keith Self (R-Pa.).
