Rep. Burlison: Offices Remain Open to Serve Constituents During Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON - Following the shutdown of the federal government due to Senate Democrats' refusal to negotiate responsibly, Representative Eric Burlison (MO-07) reminded constituents that his offices will remain fully operational to provide assistance.

"House Republicans passed a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open," said Rep. Burlison. "Democrats refused to negotiate in good faith and demanded $1.4 trillion in spending that includes benefits for illegal aliens, subsidies for abortion, and rolling back the taxpayer savings from rescissions we achieved this year. Their actions put partisan politics above our troops and everyday Americans, and they're deliberately trying to undo the conservative wins we've fought for under President Trump."

Despite the shutdown, many essential services continue, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Impacts vary by agency. Visit the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) website for the most up-to-date information.

"My offices in Washington, Springfield, and Joplin will remain open to help constituents with any federal services or questions during this period," Burlison said.
