Working For You During Democrats' Shutdown

On September 19, House Republicans passed a clean government funding bill, with zero partisan policies attached. This is the same bill Democrats championed and voted for 13 times under President Biden. But now that Trump is in office, they would rather shut down our government than vote along with Republicans to keep the lights on. It's clear they're prioritizing politics over their legislative duties.

Government shutdowns force our troops and law enforcement to risk their lives without pay, halt crucial veterans benefits and services, freeze SBA loans that keep small businesses alive, close our national parks and monuments, can cost taxpayers billions of dollars, and signal to our adversaries that democracy doesn't work. I urge Senate Democrats, who are holding up the funding bill, to reverse course and pass our legislation before more damage is done.

Until then, I want constituents to know that my office will remain fully open during the shutdown. As federal agencies experience delays, we stand ready to assist with any casework needs.
