(September 18, 2024) \u2013 Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) released the following statement following his vote against a continuing resolution (CR) that would fund the government at insufficient levels for six months and includes the SAVE Act, one of the most extreme and restrictive elections bills ever considered in the House of Representatives:\n\n\u201cThis is not a serious bill, it\u2019s political theater.\n\nRepublicans say they\u2019re the party of fiscal responsibility, but for the second year in a row, they\u2019ve failed to pass a budget on time.\n\nIn kicking the can down the road once again, House Republicans are hurting our national security, veterans, seniors, low-income families, small businesses, and more.\n\nThe House Majority claims to back our veterans, but the funding levels they presented mean our troops don\u2019t get a raise and veterans don\u2019t get the care they need.\n\nHouse Republicans say they want all eligible voters to be able to vote, but they\u2019re tying government funding to the most extreme and restrictive election bill in history\u2014a dead-on-arrival bill intended to prevent something that is already illegal.\n\nIt\u2019s unserious and it\u2019s a waste of time. We should be working to pass a budget that addresses the current needs of our country.\n\nI voted no.\u201d\n\nThe continuing resolution failed 202-220, with 206 Democrats and 14 Republicans voting against it. If no budget or continuing resolution is passed by both chambers and signed into law by September 30, the government will shut down.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "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://mcgarvey.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-morgan-mcgarvey-slams-republican-majoritys-inability-to-fund-government"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.3838221095502377, "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"}
