Luttrell Votes Against Continuing Resolution Lacking Border Security

WASHINGTON -- Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) released the following statement on his vote against the laddered continuing resolution in the House of Representatives today. 
 
“I made a promise to my constituents that I would be laser-focused on securing the border, and I would not be a part of the historical commonalities in Washington that have led to more of the same shortfalls,” said Congressman Luttrell. “The continuing resolution put forth in the House today did not contain any border security measures, amongst other concerns. For that reason, I could not support it,” said Congressman Luttrell. “It’s time to stop kicking the can down the road -- we need to address Washington’s spending problem, lower the national debt, and prioritize border security funding now.”
