"I hate funding the government through continuing resolutions, but this one is necessary to keep the government open and working for our constituents," said Congressman Alford. "A government shutdown would be disastrous-harming our military, preventing veterans from getting the benefits they've earned, and derailing the President Trump's progress on our America First agenda. Keeping the government open shouldn't be a partisan issue, but Democrats rejected this bill with no partisan poison pills. If the government shuts down, it will be solely at the hands of Congressional Democrats."
