Bill Huizenga

A balanced budget amendment

Matches stated direction

What they say

His House website says he strongly supports a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

“A balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution would help achieve this objective and is something Congressman Huizenga strongly supports.”

What the record shows ·

He voted for a balanced budget amendment on November 18, 2011 and again on April 12, 2018. Both fell short of the two-thirds needed. He was an original cosponsor of another, H.J.Res. 113, in February 2024; it never left committee.

Limit: None of these passed. This card tests support for the amendment, not his wider record on spending and deficits.
