WEST VIRGINIA'S CAPITO SAYS IT'S 'PAST TIME TO GET TO WORK' IN CONGRESS

Press Release

Date: Oct. 26, 2023
Location: Washington, DC

"I personally do not know Speaker Johnson. But I will be getting to know him, I'm sure, in the future. Let's get back to functioning, let's get back to working, let's get back to doing our jobs as we were elected to do.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

The president sent down a supplemental [appropriations bill] for us to look at. We will be writing our own bill. There are buckets in there [for] Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and border. There has to be something significant on the border.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

I will not vote for something that only at the border provides more processing agents so people can in quicker and get processed and come into the interior of the United States. I will not vote for something that just throws money at a problem that needs to be deterred and curtailed.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Anything we can do at point of entry or even pre-point of entry that will stop the flow, that's what I'm interested in."
