"Buddy" Carter | C001103 | buddycarter.house.gov | buddycarter | https://buddycarter.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today voted in favor of a bill to reopen the government, sending it to President Trump’s desk for his signature. The bipartisan deal funds the government through January 30th, with three funding bills – Agriculture-FDA, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction-Veterans Affairs – running through Fiscal Year 2026. “Our long national nightmare is finally coming to an end. For more than 43 days, Chuck Schumer, Jon Ossoff, and the Democrats blackmailed the American people for political leverage, holding SNAP and WIC, federal worker pay, air travel, and our troops hostage. Still, the vast majority of Democrats – including both of Georgia’s senators – rejected the bipartisan proposal to turn our lights back on, forcing families to starve and workers to go without pay in exchange for absolutely nothing. They don’t care about your health care, they care about pleasing the radical left and Chuck Schumer,” said Rep. Carter. The funding bill included $534.3 million supporting projects throughout the state of Georgia. Georgia's entire Democrat delegation, including both Senators Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA), voted against this funding and final passage of the bill. “A vote against this bill is a vote against Georgia, something our senators have no problem doing time and time again. Their legacy will be one of mass starvation and chaos, literally ripping food from children in an effort to win reelection,” said Rep. Carter. “While it will take weeks or months for our nation to fully recover from Democrats’ political games, I’m proud to have cast my vote in favor of this legislation, which ensures that the American people are taken care of.” | 1 | 2026-04-07T15:46:19Z | 2026-04-07T20:18:39Z |
