Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) issued the following statement after voting to pass a Continuing Resolution to keep the federal government funded through December 11, 2026:
"This continuing resolution averts another Republican government shutdown, provides stability for families and communities, and gives Congress time to negotiate bipartisan funding bills.
"Critically, it also prevents Trump from further politicizing and disrupting federal grants that communities across New Mexico rely on. I will continue fighting for a final funding agreement that protects critical investments, holds the administration accountable, and delivers for New Mexicans."
