WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman David Valadao (CA-22) released the following statement upon House passage of the Continuing Resolution (CR).

“Today, I voted to advance the Continuing Resolution,” said Congressman Valadao. “While a CR is not the ideal way to fund the government, shutdowns are costly to the American taxpayer. This measure ensures critical government services remain operational, protects Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid recipients from unnecessary disruptions, and guarantees our veterans receive their full benefits. It also makes sure junior enlisted troops get the pay raise they deserve. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I remain committed to transparency and responsible fiscal management in the funding process. With this CR in place, we can now turn our focus to passing full-year appropriations bills that provide certainty for Central Valley families, businesses, and our economy.”
