Rep. Rogers Applauds Passage of Government Funding

WASHINGTON – House Armed Services Committee Chairman U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (AL-03) released the following statement after final passage of the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026 : “I was proud to vote in favor of finally ending Schumer’s shutdown. For 43 days, Senate Democrats have held our country hostage in the name of partisan demands. Today, Republicans, along with a few sensible Democrats, voted to reopen the government with a clean continuing resolution along with full-year appropriations for Agriculture, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs. “This measure restores stability to our country, reestablishes certainty for military families, and funds key national security work, but work does not stop there. I look forward to passing full-year appropriations as well as the FY2026 NDAA and SPEED Act. With the government reopened, House Republicans stand ready to advance President Trump’s Peace Through Strength Agenda.” ###
