Senator JD Vance votes against so-called Fiscal Responsibility Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator JD Vance (R-OH) issued the following statement on the Senate passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act:

“I had hoped we could improve this deal through the amendment process, but the reality is this bill was beyond saving," Vance said. 

"Ohioans have suffered long enough from the inflation caused by the Biden administration’s out of control budget, and this bill simply does nothing to end their spending spree. This is a bad deal for the people of Ohio, which is why I voted against it.”

Ohio Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown voted in favor of the bill.

In Kentucky, Sen. Mitch McConnell was a "yes" vote, and Sen. Rand Paul voted in opposition.

Ohio Second District Rep. Brad Wenstrup voted in favor.
