WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) issued the following statement after voting to pass a continuing resolution to extend funding for the federal government through March 8 and March 22. “Today, I voted for a fourth continuing resolution to extend government funding at its current levels, keeping the government open and operating and avoiding a partial government shutdown. However, this is yet another temporary fix to the real issue at-hand – the House Republican Conference’s inability to govern. We must pass our normal appropriations bills that keep critical government programs funded, and it is my sincere hope that when Congress returns to Washington next week, Speaker Johnson does what’s in the best interest of the American people in a bipartisan way.”
