U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, who serves on the Senate Committee on the Budget, has expressed his support for a recently passed budget resolution. The vote took place last night on the Senate floor.

In a statement, Senator Ricketts emphasized that the budget "instructs committees of jurisdiction to allocate funds or find savings to support President Trump’s priorities." He highlighted several key areas of focus within the resolution: completing the border wall and upgrading border technology, increasing funding for the Department of Defense to enhance readiness, and providing a framework for boosting American energy production.

Ricketts concluded by stating, "This is how we will help deliver prosperity and keep Americans safe."
