Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern (D-MA) this morning applauded the bipartisan conference process that brought the Fiscal Year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Conference Report to the House Floor today. This process is a break from how Republican leaders normally operate, where bills often come before the Rules Committee without even being considered by the relevant committees first.

Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern (D-MA) released the following statement in reaction to passage of the Republican Farm Bill in the House today.

Today, House Rules Committee Ranking Member James P. McGovern (MA-02) condemned House Republicans’ restrictive process as they break their own closed rule record, making the 115th Congress the most closed Congress in American history. There have now been 84 closed rules this Congress, which block all amendments from both Democratic and Republican Members. A new report released by Rules Committee Democrats highlights how Republican leaders have used restrictive rules to block measures to create jobs, bring down the cost of prescription drugs, and make education more affordable. These important policies deserve a debate on the House Floor, yet they are routinely blocked from even being considered.
Ranking Member McGovern: The Cruel Republican Farm Bill will Hurt the Most Vulnerable Americans
On the House Floor today, Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern (D-MA) spoke out against the Republican Farm Bill, which would cut funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by more than $20 billion.

The Republican Farm Bill proposes these drastic cuts to SNAP to pay for forcing states to implement an unproven and vastly under-funded workforce bureaucracy experiment.

Ranking Member McGovern urged the House to reject this partisan bill, which would hurt families across the country.
Rules Committee Democrats to Chairman Sessions: Reject Call for Trump-Style Loyalty Pledge
Rules Committee Democrats, led by Ranking Member James P. McGovern (D-MA), today asked Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) to reject a call from Agriculture Committee Chairman Mike Conaway (R-TX) for a Trump-style loyalty pledge from members to vote for the Farm Bill just to be able to propose their amendments to the bill.
