(September 30, 2022) \u2014 Today, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) voted to pass a continuing resolution that would keep the federal government funded for 11 more weeks.\n\nAlready passed by the Senate, the continuing resolution will fund the government through December 16 and avert a shutdown. Among other provisions, the resolution includes aid for the Ukrainian government and relief for victims of the Jackson, Mississippi water crisis and Hurricane Fiona.\n\n\u201cBy passing this continuing resolution, Congress is voting to keep our government running and our economy strong,\u201d said Rep. Watson Coleman. \u201cOn top of preventing a government shutdown, this legislation funds disaster relief, supports the people of Ukraine, and more.\u201d\n\nIn addition to preventing a government shutdown, the continuing resolution provides funding for the new 9-8-8 National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which has seen a 40 percent increase in calls since adopting the 9-8-8 number. Also included is funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which helps low-income families keep their homes warm.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m especially proud that this crucial legislation will invest in suicide prevention and keep Americans in states like New Jersey safe during the cold winter months,\u201d said Rep. Watson Coleman. \u201cSince my days in the New Jersey Assembly, I\u2019ve said \u2018show me your budget and I\u2019ll show you your values.\u2019 The investments in this continuing resolution reflect the Democratic Congress\u2019 commitment to building a country that works for its most vulnerable.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:08:33Z"]], "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://watsoncoleman.house.gov/newsroom/press-releases/rep-watson-coleman-votes-to-fund-government-avert-shutdown"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8967129979282618, "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"}
