Congressman Moulton Named to House Budget Committee

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) received an appointment to the influential House Budget Committee. The panel is responsible for developing the annual budget, which provides a framework for federal spending and revenue levels and the fiscal policy of the United States. Moulton was one of just two new Democratic Members of Congress selected to serve on the committee.

“Writing a budget for the federal government is one of Congress’ most fundamental duties, and I’m honored my colleagues have entrusted me with this responsibility,” said Moulton. “As a member of the Budget Committee, I will fight for commonsense policies that promote job creation and a strong middle class in Massachusetts. We must continue to make critical investments in education, small businesses, and our infrastructure while responsibly reducing our deficit. I look forward to working with Chairman Price and Ranking Member Van Hollen to do just that.”

Earlier this month, Moulton received a seat on the powerful House Armed Services Committee, which has jurisdiction over the defense and military policy of the United States.
