Washington, D.C. - Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX), Vice Chairman of the House Rules Committee and Chairman for the House Budget Committee Health Task Force, expressed his support for Speaker McCarthy's commitment to fulfilling the promises that propelled the Republican Majority in the House of Representatives.

"I understand that Americans are frustrated by our government, however, Speaker McCarthy has kept the promises he made that won a Republican Majority in the House of Representatives," said Burgess. "In the last nine months, the House has passed legislation to secure American energy and return us to energy dominance; secure our southern border and turn off the ‘open now’ sign this administration has illuminated there; put parents back in charge of the children’s education; and permitting reform to build in America again. Additionally, Speaker McCarthy is working to bring back regular order by passing individual appropriation bills. The People’s House is working to keep the promises made. Unfortunately, there are a few members who are putting personal ambitions before the needs of Americans."

Burgess's statement comes after voting against the Motion to Vacate, demonstrating his support for Speaker McCarthy's efforts to fulfill the promises made to the American people. With a focus on securing American energy, strengthening border security, empowering parents in education, and promoting permitting reform, the House has taken significant steps towards fulfilling these commitments. Speaker McCarthy's push for individual appropriation bills also reflects his dedication to restoring regular order in Congress.

However, Burgess expressed concern over a few members who prioritize personal ambitions over the needs of Americans. This highlights the importance of unity and cooperation among lawmakers to effectively serve the interests of the people.
