Pappas Helps Pass Continuing Resolution

September 1, 2026 Press Release Bipartisan measure will continue annual appropriations through December 11 and extends funding for surface transportation, agriculture, and VA health care and benefits Today Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) issued the following statement after voting for a continuing resolution to extend government funding through December 11, 2026: “I voted to keep our government open and ensure we fund vital services, pay federal workers, and prevent any possibility of a government shutdown at the end of this fiscal year. But Congress shouldn’t have to govern this way. It is past time for House leadership to engage in bipartisan negotiations, act responsibly, and pass legislation that will deliver relief from skyrocketing utility costs and gas prices and put money back in Granite Staters’ pockets.”
