Bonamici Statement on Short Term Government Funding Bill

January 18, 2018

WASHINGTON, DC [01/18/18] – Today Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) issued the following statement after voting against a proposal to fund the government for one month:

"Republicans have had control of Congress and the White House for a year, and they are going from crisis to crisis. Our country needs certainty, not waiting until the last moment to fund the government. This short stopgap spending measure has little chance of passage in the Senate. It's time for the Republicans to stop the political posturing and get to work keeping the government open for the long term, protecting Dreamers, and funding children's health insurance and community health centers. Enough is enough."
