Congresswoman Ramirez Statement on Passage of Continuing Resolution to Keep Government Open

Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03) released the following statement:

“During this Congress, just in two years, the House has considered at least six different Continuing Resolutions all because extreme Republicans have hijacked the government funding process to advance Trump’s Project 2025 agenda.

Today, once again, my Democratic colleagues and I showed up to keep the government open and ensure families receive their services: government services for the people, funded by the people. But make no mistake, what we passed is only a temporary fix until December 20. The government is still not funded, and extreme Republicans have NO intention of funding it on former President Trump’s orders. The fringe of the Republican party will come back after the election and keep hijacking the appropriations process to push extreme, unpopular, vile policies: a national abortion ban, cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and the erosion of our democratic institutions. For the families in IL-03 and around our nation, I challenge my Republican colleagues to put the American people first, abandon Trump’s Project 2025 agenda, and come to the table to fund our government when session resumes.”
