The conservative advocacy group founded by former Vice President Mike Pence, Advancing American Freedom, urged Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill to commit to steep budget cuts to return federal spending to pre-pandemic levels.
The message, relayed in a Monday letter sent to GOP congressional offices and first seen by the Washington Examiner, comes amid bipartisan efforts to fund the government by a Sept. 30 shutdown deadline.
“With the upcoming appropriations fight, it is of the utmost importance that conservatives do not settle for [former President Joe Biden’s] spending levels,” wrote AAF President Tim Chapman and Executive Vice President Paul Teller. “Merely keeping the government open is not sufficient. Shrinking the size and scope of government while advancing conservative policies into law is a win.”
