Ben Cline Statement on Government Shutdown | 2025-10-02 | 2025 | 2025-10 | Republican | House | VA | Ben Cline | C001118 | cline.house.gov | cline | https://cline.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | Today, Congressman Ben Cline (VA-06) issued the following statement after the Democrat-led federal government shutdown: "The House fulfilled its responsibility by passing a clean, bipartisan Continuing Resolution that would have kept the federal government open, ensured our troops were paid, safeguarded essential services, and maintained critical government operations. I was proud to support this commonsense measure,” said Rep. Ben Cline. “Unfortunately, Senate Democrats chose to put politics over people by rejecting this bill, forcing an unnecessary and entirely avoidable government shutdown. A CR is meant to fund government functions, not serve as a vehicle for partisan wish lists like taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants or funds for liberal media outlets. I urge Senate Democrats to set aside political games and work with Republicans to reopen the government and deliver the stability the American people expect and deserve.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
