Clarke (NY-09) released this statement following the House vote to fund the federal government until January 19, 2018. Clarke voted against the resolution:\n\n\u201cDespite controlling both houses of Congress and the White House, Republicans still could not agree on a way to fund the government for more than a month at a time. In fact, earlier this year, President Trump said \u2018our government needs a good shutdown.\u2019\n\n\u201cCongressional Republicans spent an entire year fighting for special interest giveaways and against ordinary Americans. The GOP prioritized tax cuts for lobbyists, corporations that ship jobs overseas and political donors over dealing with the urgent, overdue priorities for the American people.\n\n\u201cRepublicans failed to prioritize children\u2019s healthcare, emergency disaster funding for all hurricane- and wildfire-impacted communities, saving Americans\u2019 pensions, and the passage of a bipartisan DREAM Act.\n\n\u201cRepublicans have no real plan for our country and today\u2019s vote demonstrates just how vacuous their promises are.\n\n\u201cI hope that voters will remember this in the coming months.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T22:19:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://clarke.house.gov/clarke-statement-gops-short-term-continuing-resolution/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4416677877306938, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
