WASHINGTON—The Co-Chairs of the Blue Dog Coalition—Reps. Tom O’Halleran (AZ-01), Ed Case (HI-01), Stephanie Murphy (FL-07), and Kurt Schrader (OR-05) issued the following statement on the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act:
“The House of Representatives has taken a historic step forward with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, by lowering prescription drug costs, strengthening healthcare, combating the climate crisis, and dramatically reducing our nation’s deficit. The Blue Dog Coalition has long advocated for fiscally responsible policies, and with the passage of this bill, we will help place America on a sounder economic footing.”
The Blue Dog Coalition believes in creative policymaking and fiscal responsibility – the IRA is a tremendous example of both priorities. Blue Dog Democrats are proud to have supported this bill and look forward to continuing to work with both Democrats and Republicans to bring down costs for American families, keep our country safe, and ensure the fiscal stability of the nation.
