2020: Fitzpatrick Voted For An Amendment To The FY 2020 Minibus
Spending Bill That Prohibited The State Department From Spending Money
At Hotels And Golf Resorts Affiliated With The Trump Organization. In
June 2019, Fitzpatrick voted for an amendment to the FY 2020 minibus
appropriations bill, which would, according to Congressional Quarterly,
"prohibit the use of funds made available by the bill for a number of
purposes, including to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty, to enter
into contracts and agreements with business entities connected to
President Donald Trump, or to provide military education and training to
the government of Saudi Arabia. It would also make adjustments to a
number of funds related to nonproliferation and anti-terrorism,
international economic assistance, and foreign development." The vote
was on adoption. The House adopted the amendment by a vote of 231-187,
but the related bill was never taken up in the Senate. [House Vote 332,
