Congresswoman Maloy Issues Statement on Government Funding Legislation

Congresswoman Celeste Maloy (UT-02) issued the following statement after the passage of the bill to reopen the federal government: "Tonight, after 42 days of a government shutdown, the House passed a continuing resolution that allows Congress to complete the full-year budget process. This package also approves three full-year appropriations bills for Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, the Legislative Branch, and Agriculture. It ensures that SNAP and WIC remain fully funded, takes care of veterans and active-duty military, and guarantees that federal workers and their families are paid. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I am ready to finish the remaining nine funding bills and uphold our responsibility to the American people. This vote provides needed stability for families and communities, and I remain committed to delivering a responsible budget."
