Rep. Wilson Votes ‘YES’ to Keep the Government Funded, Protect Critical Programs, and Lower Costs

September 1, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24) released the following statement after voting for the bipartisan continuing resolution to fund the government through December 11. “Today, I voted ‘YES’ to keep our government open and protect the vital services families across South Florida depend on. With the cost of living already stretching household budgets, hardworking Americans should not suffer because of dysfunction. “This bipartisan bill protects critical housing, nutrition, healthcare, veterans, and infrastructure programs while temporarily blocking the Trump administration’s reckless attempt to politicize federal grants. “Now, Congress must finish the job and pass full-year funding bills that lower costs, protect our communities, and put people first.” ###
