Brady’s Office Budget Operates Below 2009 Levels
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – “Most years we operate our Congressional Offices on only 85% of the budget, returning the rest to the treasury where it is used for deficit reduction.
“These are the taxpayer’s hard-earned dollars, and we try to watch every penny,” said Brady (at far left,) a former Chamber of Commerce executive, crediting his staff in Texas and the Capitol for the tight spending practices, saying,
“We try to operate our office like a business – efficiently, with strong customer service. We want to show other Washington agencies that they can live below their budgets, too.”
– Find out how much Brady returned, and how he operates his Congressional Office so frugally, he has returned more than $1 million to the federal treasury over the past five years.
This week Brady returned another $108,289 to the treasury from his office budget for 2013, bringing his five year total returned to $1,010,050. Under his leadership, his office has reduced spending every year since 2009.
Brady, a senior member of the House Ways & Means Committee, has never moved to Washington. He lives in Texas with his wife and children and commutes to work in Congress.
“Every one of our staff watches the budget carefully. They are fully committed to spending wisely, and I appreciate their efforts.”
