Congressman Wilson Comments On Federal Funding Measures

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) released the following statement after voting in favor of greater funding for border security and disaster relief:

"Enhanced border security is critical to ensure the safety of South Carolinians and American families," said Wilson. "The border security funding language that the House added is an important first step to securing our country from foreign threats. Additionally, I support the government funding measure presented today because it gives much-needed disaster relief to our friends who are suffering from the recent damage caused by wildfires, hurricanes, and floods."
