Congressman Nick Langworthy’s Statement on the U.S. House Passing a Continuing Resolution to Keep the Government Open

Washington, D.C. – March 11th— Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed a clean Continuing Resolution that keeps the federal government open and functional: 

“Despite Democrats’ attempt to shut down the government, nothing they do will impede on President Trump’s incredible and quick work fixing our country. House Republicans are committed to strengthening our economy, getting our $36 trillion debt under control, and ensuring the long-term strength of our nation; it’s shameful that House Democrats have done nothing but obstruct this mission.

I am proud to say that this CR reduces, then freezes spending for the next six months. This allows the President the time to continue to identify waste, fraud, and abuse of our tax dollars which is one of my top priorities. 

A continuing resolution isn’t a perfect solution, but it’s our best course of action to keep the government open and functional delivering the critical services that the hardworking American people pay for.”
