WASHINGTON – Rep. Shomari C. Figures (AL-02) sent a letter today to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Doug Collins requesting a meeting and information about recent reports of layoffs of employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and their impact on facilities in the State of Alabama, including Mobile, Montgomery and Tuskegee.
WASHINGTON – Rep. Shomari C. Figures (AL-02) issued the following statement today after voting against the House Republicans’ FY2025 budget resolution:
“The House Republicans’ budget sends a clear message to hardworking Americans: we do not care about you or your family. I voted against this bill because I cannot support a budget that adds nearly $2 trillion to the national deficit while cutting critical programs like Medicaid and SNAP that is a lifeline for millions of Americans.
