"I have said for the entirety of the 118th Congress that shutting down the government was out of the question and would inflict unnecessary pain on the American people," said Congressman Lawler. "That's why I have been working with my colleagues day and night all week to ensure that we completed our work ahead of tonight's deadline. The continuing resolution we just passed keeps the government open and funded through March. It also provides much-needed disaster relief and farm aid that the American people have been counting on. While it does not include key provisions I fought for, including a provision to fix the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP) funding formula, PBM reform, and outbound controls, these bipartisan provisions will be top priorities in the 119th Congress and I will work with my colleagues in both parties to ensure they get done. Tonight we kept our commitment to the American people and avoided the unnecessary calamity and pain that a government shutdown would inflict on the American people." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
