Today, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter voted to support a bipartisan budget agreement which allows our country to move forward and work on the important priorities of Americans.

Perlmutter stated, "This agreement is not all I hoped for, but it's a first step in breaking through the partisan brinkmanship to provide relief from the automatic, arbitrary budget cuts and ensures some much needed economic certainty for the next two years.  This will help strengthen our economy, promote job creation and reduce our deficit.  It also makes sure valuable community services and resources are available to those who need them most and our senior citizens continue to have access to their doctors.  We can't stop here, we need to do more to stimulate our economic recovery.  I'm hopeful we continue working in a bipartisan way to address important priorities like passing comprehensive immigration reform, tax reform and securing our energy independence."

The budget agreement passed 332 - 94.
