STATEMENT FROM CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE ON HOUSE-PASSED CONTINUING RESOLUTION

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle released the following statement:

“While I am relieved the essential programs and services relied upon by millions of people across the country will not be disrupted by a government shutdown, I am deeply disappointed that Republicans broke their word and are choosing the interests of billionaires like Elon Musk over the interests of seniors, veterans, and working families. The American people deserve—and should demand—better.

“In spite of the recklessness my colleagues have displayed, I remain committed to finding a bipartisan solution to fully fund our government and forging a path forward to address the real challenges facing our nation.”
