I am encouraged that congressional leaders from both parties and chambers are coming together to find a commonsense solution that keeps our government open for the long term and protects Kansans\u2019 ability to support their families. Bipartisanship is the only way forward and I\u2019m committed to working with anyone to safeguard Kansans\u2019 jobs, health, and financial security.\u201d\n\nToday, the U.S. House of Representatives also passed legislation to extend the deadline to fully reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration, a main priority for Davids. She is working to help pass bipartisan legislation that improves customer protections and accessibility while flying, increases America\u2019s aviation safety standards, and strengthens domestic aviation workforce and manufacturing.\n\nBackground:\n\nFollowing today\u2019s passage of the continuing resolution (CR), U.S. House of Representative appropriators will negotiate six individual appropriation bills by March 8, followed by an additional six before March 22. Congressional leadership has affirmed that all 12 bills will adhere to the bipartisan spending limits agreed upon by Republicans and Democrats in both June 2023 and January 2024.\n\nDavids continues to push for a bipartisan agreement to keep the government open past the new deadlines set in today\u2019s legislation. A shutdown would have serious impacts on Kansas families and the overall U.S. economy. Americans would face disruptions to important benefits, service members would not be compensated, many small businesses would have to alter their operations, and federal workers would be furloughed and go unpaid.
