Washington D.C. – This week, Congressman Cliff Bentz (OR-02) voted for Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan to fund the government and avert a shutdown.
“I voted with Speaker Johnson because I support his short-term funding plan which will give us the time we need to keep working on reductions in spending. As the Speaker knows, a shutdown would cause serious hardships to many who work in the military, the TSA, agencies charged with issuing permits, and even agencies who send out government entitlement payments,” said Congressman Bentz. “Additionally, a government shutdown would be damaging to our economy and to our national security. I am fully committed to working with my colleagues to reduce spending while at the same time keeping the government open and operating.”
