"Nobody wants a repeat of last year, when Democrats deliberately dragged out the government shutdown to a record-breaking 43 days, the longest in American history,” said Congressman Joyce. “Republicans refused to let that happen again. We acted early and decisively to prevent another shutdown and spare the country of its entirely avoidable consequences. Today’s vote ensures the government stays open to serve the American people, while we continue our work in Congress to pass full-year appropriations legislation.” Background In the 119th Congress (2025-2026), Congressman Joyce helped introduce legislation (H.J. Res. 128) that would prohibit Members of Congress from receiving compensation, including retroactive pay once the government has reopened, during a government shutdown. In addition, Congressman Joyce is a cosponsor of comprehensive bipartisan legislation (H.R. 5870) that would prevent future government shutdowns by requiring Congress to remain in Washington until funding legislation is passed while providing the necessary funding to keep government agencies open and serving the American taxpayers until Congress’ work is done.
