Congressman Luttrell Votes to Support FY25 Budget Framework Focused on Border Security, Energy, and Tax Relief

WASHINGTON -- Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) voted in favor of the Senate Amendment to H.Con.Res. 14, the fiscal year (FY) 2025 budget resolution. This vote is a critical step in moving forward with a budget that addresses the challenges facing our nation, including border security, national defense, and the future of our economy.

"This budget framework sets the stage for delivering on some of the biggest priorities I hear about from folks back home -- securing the border, unleashing American energy, strengthening our military, and keeping taxes low for working families and small businesses.

I voted yes because we need to move forward with a plan that gives us the tools to rein in wasteful spending and get our fiscal house in order. The reconciliation instructions included in this resolution lay out a clear path for us to make good on conservative policies, like making the Trump tax cuts permanent, cutting red tape, and keeping our nation secure," said Congressman Luttrell.

Luttrell continued, "That said, I believe we need to push harder for real, enforceable savings. The House instructions call for $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, while the Senate side has just $4 billion. That's not going to cut it when we're staring down nearly $35 trillion in debt.

I'm going to keep working to make sure the final product reflects real fiscal discipline."

The budget resolution establishes the congressional budget framework for FY 2025 and lays out recommended levels of spending, revenue, debt, and deficits for fiscal years 2026 through 2034. It also includes reconciliation instructions for both Senate and House authorizing committees, guiding efforts to enact key budgetary proposals. This includes provisions to strengthen border security, advance energy independence, bolster national security, and cut taxes to stimulate economic growth.
