Daniel Webster U.S. House of Representatives from Florida | Official U.S. House Headshot
Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, a Republican from Clermont, voted in favor of H.R. Con. Res. 14, a resolution to establish the congressional budget for the 2025 fiscal year, with spending projections through 2034. The resolution is part of an effort to support directives set by President Trump.
According to Representative Webster, the passage of the resolution is "a significant step forward in fulfilling President Trump’s agenda to restore fiscal responsibility, strengthen our military, secure our borders, and put America First." He emphasized that "by passing this budget resolution, my House Republican colleagues and I are one step closer to delivering President Trump ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL that will unleash American energy, make the historic tax cuts permanent, and reinvigorate the American economy to usher in the next great American century."
The resolution is procedural, providing guidance but not enacting policy changes or direct spending cuts. It outlines the work for several Congressional Committees to draft legislation focusing on specific areas:
- **Border Security:** Committees are directed to pursue legislation completing the border wall, funding Border Patrol agents, and investing in technology against drug trafficking and illegal immigration.
- **Defense:** The resolution calls for increased investment to maintain the U.S. military's status as a leading global force.
- **Energy Independence:** Emphasis will be placed on legislation to boost American energy production, aimed at achieving energy dominance and providing affordable energy to Americans.
- **Tax Relief:** The resolution seeks to establish the permanence of the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts, which are credited with job creation, supporting small businesses, and providing relief to families.
