Calvert Votes Against Government Shutdown | 2023-09-29 | 2023 | 2023-09 | Republican | House | CA | Ken Calvert | C000059 | calvert.house.gov | calvert | https://calvert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-41) issued the following statement regarding a possible federal government shutdown: “Last night, I voted along with my House colleagues to pass three individual appropriations bills that included House Republican policy priorities. Together with the VA-Military Construction appropriation bill approved earlier this year, the House has now passed four of the twelve annual individual appropriations bills and 73% of all discretionary spending. The Senate has passed zero. With the federal fiscal year ending on Saturday at midnight, it’s clear we need a short-term funding bill (continuing resolution or CR) to keep the government open until we complete that work. That is why I voted today for a CR to avoid a government shutdown, secure our border and cut overall funding to address our mounting fiscal challenges. Unfortunately, all House Democrats and a small number of House Republicans opposed the bill, and it was defeated. I don’t think a government shutdown solves anything. If we do find ourselves in an unfortunate shutdown, I have asked for my pay to be suspended, and my office will remain open to serve constituents. I will remain in D.C. working to find solutions to this impasse.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
