DeGette Statement on Government Funding Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Diana DeGette (CO-01) released the following statement after she voted to pass the government funding bill.

“House Democrats stopped Donald Trump and Elon Musk from paving the way for a $2.2 trillion tax cut for billionaires and millionaires. Democrats stood unified to force the House Republicans to remove the debt limit hike that did not even have support from their full conference. Tonight, House Democrats were once again the adults in the room and provided the votes to avert a costly Republican-led government shutdown. Despite these victories, I am concerned about the important health policies that were only extended until March, including the Special Diabetes Program. The American people deserve a government that works without being in a constant cycle of continuing resolutions, yet it looks like we are heading for more dysfunction when Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House in 2025. I’ll continue to find bipartisan success wherever possible and advance the issues that matter most to Denver when we come back for the 119th Congress.”
