Moore released the following statement after the House voted to end the 43-day Schumer Shutdown. The House passed the Senate Amendment to H.R. 5371 - Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act 2026 that extends funding for most agencies until January 30th, 2026. The measure also includes three full-year funding bills, the Legislative Branch, Agriculture and Rural Development, and the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations bills.\n\nThe legislation also includes key national security provisions written by Congressman Moore, including language prohibiting the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Legislative Branch from purchasing compromised technology tied to the Chinese Communist Party.\n\nCongressman Riley M. Moore issued the following statement:\n\n\u201cThe Schumer Shutdown is finally over after the Democrats held the American people hostage for 43 days. Republicans held the line and did not cave to the Democrats\u2019 insane $1.5 Trillion wishlist, including giving healthcare benefits to illegal immigrants. We can now get back to work enacting the America First agenda. I\u2019m also grateful to Chairman Cole for including my language to protect our national security by preventing the VA and Legislative Branch from purchasing harmful technology tied to the Chinese Communist Party.\u201d\n\nMajor Investments Secured for West Virginia:\n\nThe legislation not only reopens the federal government, restoring pay for workers and providing stability for families, but also includes major local investments in West Virginia, championed by Congressman Riley M. Moore:\n\n$712,500 for a new Preston County Senior Center. The center has vastly outgrown its current facility, and the new location will expand access to vital services for thousands of seniors\u2014including in-home care, meal delivery, and transportation to medical appointments. This investment will strengthen community care and improve quality of life for senior West Virginians.\n\n$1,668,750 for the construction of a new Barbour County Ambulance Authority Station. The new facility will enhance emergency response capabilities, expand public safety training programs, and serve as an emergency shelter and distribution site in the event of a natural disaster. This project will ensure first responders have the resources they need to keep West Virginians safe.\n\nCongressman Moore\u2019s statement on how these projects are crucial to West Virginia\u2019s infrastructure and constituents:\n\n\u201cThese are the kinds of investments that matter\u2014projects that save lives, care for our most vulnerable, and strengthen our communities. By ending the Schumer shutdown and passing this bill, we\u2019re putting West Virginia first and delivering real results for the people of the Second District.\n\nWest Virginians work hard and expect their government to do the same. I\u2019ll continue fighting for solutions that strengthen our economy, and deliver for the great people of the Mountain State.\u201d\n\nWatch Congressman Moore deliver his remarks on the House floor during the vote to reopen the government here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "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://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-moore-applauds-successful-house-vote-end-historic-government"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1443390976637602, "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"}
