WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Dan Newhouse released the following statement after the vote on the Senate Amendment H.R. 6500, Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027. The resolution passed by a vote of 370-48.
“Congress has a responsibility to fund the government each fiscal year and prevent a lapse in essential services for taxpayers. This short-term continuing resolution avoids a shutdown while maintaining current spending levels and allows additional time to negotiate full-year funding measures. Senate Democrat Appropriators have unnecessarily delayed this process, and they should come to the table for good faith negotiations to avoid another continuing resolution this winter.”
