Today, Congressman Tim Burchett (TN-02) released the following statement about his votes on legislation to address the baby formula shortage:
"I voted for the bipartisan Access to Baby Formula Act because it gives the USDA flexibility to address emergencies and supply chain disruptions, and I called on Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate any potential price-gouging related to this crisis. Unfortunately, I could not support the Infant Formula Supplemental Appropriations Act Speaker Pelosi brought to the floor which provides the FDA with $28 million in new funding, $23 million of which will go toward administration expenses that will not address the immediate crisis and will only grow the bureaucracy at the FDA."
