PIERRE, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) US Representative Dusty Johnson (R-SD) has been named a Fiscal Hero by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.  Fiscal Hero Awards are presented to members of Congress who are working to improve the nation’s financial situation and fix the budget process.

Fiscal Heroes have distinguished themselves by pushing their party leaders to make addressing the national debt a priority, leading bipartisan efforts to work through policy options to fix the debt and budget process, taking responsible votes, participating in fiscally focused events, using their congressional town halls to engage and educate students about budget and financial issues, delivering floor speeches to raise awareness about the issue, advocating to keep tough choices on the table and introducing legislation to improve the budget process and the nation’s fiscal position.

Johnson said, “I am honored to receive the Fiscal Hero Award and I won’t stop fighting to cut spending in Washington, D.C.”
