WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) released the following statement after House and Senate Democrats voted against the clean Continuing Resolution to keep the government open. Congresswoman Erin Houchin“House and Senate Republicans did our job to fund the government. They are demanding $1.5 trillion in far-left partisan spending in exchange for financing the standard operations of government for four weeks. Unfortunately, Democrats have chosen partisanship over a clean short-term funding bill, forcing a government shutdown that will hurt families, service members, and communities across the country. Democrats supported 13 clean CRs before, but now they’ve forced a shutdown to appease their far-left base and push a trillion-dollar liberal wish list.
