Pappas Helps Pass Bipartisan CR Extending Government Funding

Today, Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) released the following statement after voting for a continuing resolution to extend government funding through November 17:

“With just hours remaining before government funding runs out, I’m glad that the House finally passed a bipartisan proposal to prevent a shutdown and fund essential priorities, including natural disaster relief. But I’m frustrated that this measure was not brought forward until the last minute, wasting precious time on a manufactured political crisis instead of the issues our constituents are counting on us to address.”

“We have a matter of weeks now to pass bipartisan, full-year legislation that meets our nation’s pressing needs and ensures the health, strength, and security of the American people. It is also essential that we do not turn our backs on our democratic allies in Ukraine as they fight for their freedom against Putin’s unprovoked invasion. I will continue to work with my colleagues across the aisle to urge Speaker McCarthy to stop the partisan brinksmanship that only undermines Congress’s ability to solve problems and get the job done.”
