WASHINGTON — Two days before the end of his quarter-century in Congress, Speaker John A. Boehner's barn is looking pretty clean.
The House on Wednesday overwhelmingly adopted a crucial bipartisan budget accord that in one relatively tight 144-page bill stands to end five years of bitter clashes between Republicans and the Obama administration over fiscal policy, allowing Mr. Boehner to fulfill his metaphorical pledge.

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) voted with 265 other Democratic and Republican Members of Congress to pass H.R. 1314, a bipartisan budget agreement that creates jobs, protects seniors, affirms the full faith and credit of the United States and invests in our future.

The Honorable Brendan F. Boyle

Washington, DC 20515
Dear Congressman Boyle:
On behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, thank you for supporting reauthorization of the U.S. Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) yesterday. Failure to reauthorize Ex-Im has put at risk hundreds of thousands of American jobs and hurt our small- and medium-size businesses. Without the Bank's services, the U.S. budget deficit will rise, and American companies have already lost crucial support overseas, falling behind foreign competitors.
Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) issued the following statement about the proposed bi-partisan budget deal:
"Since taking office in January I have encountered many frustrations on Capitol Hill. However, last night's compromise on a multi-year budget package is one of the best examples of bipartisan progress I have seen in the past 10 months. As I continue to evaluate the final package, I applaud those on both sides of the aisle who came together to achieve progress on these important issues."
WASHINGTON, D.C. – With just eleven days remaining before a November 3 deadline for Congress to raise the debt ceiling to avoid a government default, Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) joined Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, Assistant Democratic Leader James Clyburn, and hundreds of other Democratic lawmakers to announce the support of the House Democratic Caucus for a clean extension of the debt ceiling.
Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) issued the following statement about the Treasury Department's plan for Puerto Rico:
Washington, D.C.- Today, Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) called for Republicans in Congress to immediately act to protect seniors and people with disabilities from significant increases in their 2016 Medicare Part B premiums and deductibles. Congressman Boyle is a cosponsor of legislation, introduced by Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV), that would fix this problem by keeping Part B premiums and deductibles for all Medicare enrollees at 2015 levels.
