That\u2019s why I voted today in favor of this continuing resolution to keep the government open and working for the people of Ohio\u2019s 13th Congressional District,\u201d said Rep. Sykes. \u201cHowever, this bill is far from perfect. Instead of using the past seven weeks to forge a bipartisan path forward, House Republicans chose to waste precious time pushing through extreme bills that dramatically cut critical services people in our communities rely on. Republicans\u2019 continued inability to govern has real consequences for people and families in my district. I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to stop playing partisan games and work together with Democrats on legislation to fully fund the government, protect our national security by ensuring Israel and Ukraine have the resources they need to defend themselves, and provide critical humanitarian assistance to Ukrainians, Israelis, and Palestinians.\u201d\n\nTo fully fund the government, Congress must pass twelve appropriations bills. House Republicans\u2019 Continuing Resolution creates two separate funding deadlines: January 19 for Agriculture, Energy and Water, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development and February 2 for the remaining eight bills.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"]], "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://sykes.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-sykes-statement-continuing-resolution-keep-government-open"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6415352001786232, "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"}
