WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Republican governors sent a joint letter to President Trump supporting his call for the United States Senate to pass budget reconciliation to protect America’s elections, strengthen America’s national defense, and support American farmers.

The letter reads in part: 

“The SAVE America Act includes commonsense measures that are critical for restoring Americans’ trust in our electoral process. As governors, we are on the frontlines of the fight to restore confidence in our election process. The shocking revelation that hundreds of thousands of ineligible individuals were found to be on voter rolls across the United States only underscores the urgency of this effort. This budget resolution begins the process for Republicans to enact critical election integrity measures included in the SAVE America Act.

“This resolution will also ensure our military has the munitions, equipment and supplies they need to deter our adversaries and keep our homeland safe. We fully support the Administration’s funding request for the Department of War (DOW) to cover increased operational costs and readiness expenses, while making critical investments in munitions to ensure our military is the strongest in the world. 

“Republicans, with the passage of this resolution, would have the opportunity to help lower food prices by providing much-needed economic assistance to America’s farmers. You have made clear that you will not leave America’s farmers behind, and as governors who represent robust and diverse agricultural industries, we stand with you in ironclad support for America’s family farms.”
