Seek an appropriations role to cut wasteful spending and regulations

If elected, Ryan Zinke said he would use his seniority to seek a seat on the House Appropriations Committee and work to defund regulations he considers costly, along with wasteful projects and offices or those outside federal responsibilities. He also said he would work with colleagues to reorganize and reform the executive branch. He cited his cosponsorship of a balanced-budget amendment as part of his approach to federal debt.

Context: The response does not identify specific regulations, projects or offices he would target.

In their own words

If elected, I will maintain my seniority from previous terms in Congress.
