DeGette to Vote Against House Stopgap Spending Bill

Washington, DC – Congresswoman Diana DeGette (D-CO), Chief Deputy Whip, issued the following statement about the continuing resolution that will come before the House for a vote this evening:

"GOP leaders will soon put a spending bill on the House floor that, if signed into law, will fund the government for only a few more weeks – through March 23. And once again, the Republican-led Congress is ignoring a number of important priorities in a rush to meet a short-term deadline when these issues should have been resolved in September as the last fiscal year came to an end.

"I'll vote against this spending bill as I have done for all the inadequate stopgap measures that have come before us these past four months."
