Several members of Congress, including Rep. Haley Stevens, Sen. Patty Murray, Rep. Emilia Sykes, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, and others, are working to prevent a government shutdown by passing a full budget. They emphasize the need for bipartisan cooperation and responsible funding measures to protect investments in the country's future. The deadline for passing the budget is tomorrow, and the focus is on delivering critical investments for working families.
Today I voted to keep the gov’t open & working for the American people. We can’t let House GOP infighting prevent Congress from doing its job & passing responsible, full-year appropriations measures that deliver for hard-working families & address our most pressing issues.
Working families want Congress to focus on lowering costs and growing the middle class. @HouseDemocrats are ready and willing to keep the government open so we can deliver the critical investments they're counting on!
We've got to keep working nonstop to negotiate & pass full-year funding bills—and it has to happen in a bipartisan way. That means no extreme partisan demands & an understanding that we've got to protect investments in our country’s future. https://t.co/la2Wo2xzGi
I just voted to keep our government open and working on behalf of our seniors, veterans, and working families that count on it. Now, I'm working with my colleagues to pass funding legislation for the full year.
Congress has until TOMORROW to pass a budget to avoid a partial government shutdown. Once again, I’m ready and willing to keep the government open and deliver the critical investments that working families are counting on. https://t.co/vP52kaEDcQ
As we work around the clock to move forward on full-year funding bills, we also have to prevent a harmful and costly government shutdown come Friday. I'm glad there's a bipartisan agreement in both chambers on a CR to avert that shutdown so we can get our bills done. https://t.co/fxchbQAZfF
A government shutdown poses a threat to countless Americans. I’m relieved Speaker Johnson has agreed to keep the government funded as we work to pass a full budget. As members of Congress, it’s our job to solve problems for Americans, not add to them. Let’s get this done.
