Capito Statement on National Security Supplemental Legislative Text

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WVDN) – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a leader on the Senate Appropriations Committee, released the below statement on the national security supplemental funding bill text that was unveiled tonight.

“I have said repeatedly that I am supportive of efforts to craft a national security supplemental that assists our allies abroad, such as Israel and Ukraine, as well as the national security challenges we face here at home. The border is one of those challenges. In order to make a true impact, we need substantive policy changes that address the border crisis. Senator Lankford has been working tirelessly with members across the aisle to reach a bipartisan solution, and I thank him for his efforts. Now that we have actual legislative text, I look forward reviewing the text. I encourage my colleagues to do the same.”
