Rep. Strong Statement on Democrat Shutdown

WASHINGTON - Today, Representative Dale Strong (AL-05) issued the following statement after the Senate failed to pass the clean continuing resolution legislation to continue government operations:

"It is disgraceful that Democrats have chosen to shut down the government and hold the business of the American people hostage to advance their partisan agenda. This shutdown could end today if Democrats would support the clean continuing resolution to fund the government. On behalf of the hardworking North Alabamians I represent, I urge them to put aside politics and put the American people first."

Background: On September 19, House Republicans passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open and allow appropriators to continue working on full-year appropriations bills through November 21, 2025.
