Harold "Hal" Rogers (KY-05), Dean of the House, voted for the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act of 2025 to avoid a government shutdown on September 30th and extend federal funding past the election, through December 20, 2024. Both the House and Senate passed the bipartisan bill on Wednesday, sending it on to the president's desk for his signature. The funding protects critical benefits programs and includes $231 million in additional resources for the Secret Service to ensure candidates and government leaders are protected, while also ensuring the full cooperation of the Secret Service with congressional investigations. "We have the responsibility to protect the federal programs and funding that Americans rely on everyday. This temporary extension will get us through the election, and will allow the president-elect to engage in our next steps," said Congressman Rogers, a senior appropriator. "We cannot afford a government shutdown or any disruption in our national security, especially when our nation's leadership hangs in the balance of an election that is only weeks away." The House Appropriations Committee passed all twelve federal funding bills earlier this summer, and the House has already passed five of those bills on to the Senate for consideration. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z |
