Washington, DC – Today, Representative Lois Frankel (FL-21), member of the House Appropriations Committee, issued the following statement in response to President Biden’s fiscal year 2023 (FY23) budget proposal.

“President Biden is committed to building a better America for the people, and his FY23 budget proposal lays the groundwork for how we’ll continue to work toward this important goal while lowering the deficit, fighting inflation, and creating more jobs,” said Rep. Frankel. “I am especially excited by his inclusion of billions of dollars to make high quality, affordable child care more accessible, historic investments to create a more gender equitable world, hundreds of millions for Everglades Restoration to protect Florida’s drinking water, and unprecedented funding to support our Veterans, and I look forward to working with the Biden-Harris Administration to include these funding priorities in our FY23 spending bill.”
