Spartz, House Republican, may quit without Debt Commission.
Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) has made a bold statement, declaring that she would resign from her House seat unless Congress takes action to address the national debt. In a powerful statement released on Oct. 2, Spartz expressed her frustration with the lack of progress on this critical issue.
“I’ve faced many challenges as a woman in politics, enduring long hours and personal sacrifices. But there are limits to what one person can do,” Spartz stated. She emphasized the urgent need for a debt commission to tackle the crushing national debt and inflation, warning that if no action is taken by the next debt ceiling increase in 2024, she will not continue sacrificing her children for a system that lacks leadership and vision.
“I cannot save this Republic alone,” Spartz declared.

Expressing her disappointment with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Spartz criticized the lack of commitment to addressing the fiscal catastrophe.

Commission
Spartz is part of a bipartisan group of House lawmakers supporting the Fiscal Commission Act of 2023, introduced by Reps. Scott Peters (D-Calif.) and Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.). This legislation aims to establish a 16-member, bipartisan commission to provide fiscal recommendations on the nation’s debt. The commission would consist of 12 House and Senate lawmakers from both parties, along with 4 outside experts. The recommendations would then be voted on by House and Senate lawmakers.
If Spartz follows through with her resignation, a special election would be called by Gov. Eric Holcomb. In February, Spartz announced that she would not seek reelection in 2024, prioritizing spending more time with her family.
Her decision not to run for any office in 2024 means she will not be participating in the Senate race to fill Sen. Mike Braun’s seat. Braun is running for governor of Indiana in 2024, and Rep. Jim Banks is currently the Republican frontrunner in the race.
In an interview with Wish-TV, Spartz expressed openness to Rep. Matt Gaetz’s push to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, stating that she wants to see leadership from McCarthy.

The national debt crisis has been a growing concern for both politicians and citizens alike. With a staggering debt of over $30 trillion, the United States is facing a fiscal burden that cannot be ignored. Rep. Victoria Spartz, a Republican congresswoman from Indiana, has recently taken a stand on this issue, vowing to resign from her House seat unless Congress takes concrete action to address the national debt crisis. In her powerful statement released on October 2, Rep. Spartz expressed her frustration with the lack of progress in tackling this critical issue. As a woman in politics, she has faced numerous challenges, enduring long hours and personal sacrifices. However, she firmly believes that there are limits to what one person can achieve alone. Rep. Spartz highlighted the urgent need for a debt commission to tackle the crushing national debt and inflation. She made a dire warning that if no action is taken by the next debt ceiling increase in 2024, she will not continue sacrificing her children for a system that lacks leadership and vision. “I cannot save this Republic alone,” declared Rep. Spartz. Her bold statement puts a spotlight on the urgent need for Congress to prioritize addressing the national debt crisis. The repercussions of inaction are dire, with potential consequences including economic instability, inflation, and a burden on future generations. Unfortunately, the issue of the national debt has often been overshadowed by other political debates and agendas. While the recent government shutdown dominated headlines, Rep. Spartz rightly points out that the shutdown itself is not the core problem. Rather, it is the mounting public debt that poses a significant threat to the nation’s financial stability. In a related article published on October 2, it was argued that the public debt is the real issue that needs to be addressed. The author highlighted the unsustainable nature of the current debt and emphasized the dire consequences it could have on the economy if left unattended. Another article published on September 28 criticized the handling of the debt by the Biden administration, highlighting the need for effective policies that address both the national debt and issues at the border. The combined impact of these challenges, including what has been dubbed “Bidenomics,” further emphasizes the urgent need for action. Furthermore, concerns over inflation have also come to the forefront. A recent article published on October 5 questioned whether inflation could threaten the economic recovery. This additional concern only strengthens the argument for immediate action to address the national debt crisis. Rep. Spartz’s bold stance serves as a wake-up call for Congress to set aside partisan politics and work towards a sustainable solution for the national debt crisis. It is time for strong leadership and a clear vision to guide the nation towards financial stability. While one person alone may not be able to save the Republic, the collective effort of dedicated politicians and responsible citizens can make a difference. It is time for a unified approach to address the national debt crisis and secure a better future for all Americans.A Cry for Action: Rep. Spartz and the National Debt Crisis
