Mrvan Statement on Administration’s Action to Freeze Federal Funding

Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Frank J. Mrvan issued the following statement in response to the Administration’s action to freeze federal funding. 

“It is disappointing to learn today of the Administration’s action to freeze funds that have a known and positive impact for countless individuals, small businesses, municipalities in Northwest Indiana, as well as non-profit organizations that provide needed assistance to children, seniors, and veterans.  As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I believe that we are a nation of laws, and I will continue to fight to ensure that federal funds are spent as required under law to keep our nation and communities safe, to lower costs, and to grow our economy.  My office has already received many calls today from constituents and organizations directly impacted by this freeze, and I would encourage all those who may need assistance to also contact my office and we will continue to advocate for Northwest Indiana in addressing this matter.”
