The federal budget process is broken. I've only been in Congress four months and that's clear to me. Since 2010, Congress has passed 31 continuing resolutions to keep the federal government open. Only three fiscal years since 1955 have not produced a continuing resolution. The institution has been governing by crisis for far too long.

I was sent to Congress not to prop up the failed status quo, but to help end it.
