McClain | M001136 | mcclain.house.gov | mcclain | https://mcclain.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON—Today, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) led fellow members of Michigan’s Republican House delegation in sending a letter to Michigan Senators Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) urging them to vote for the House-passed clean, seven-week continuing resolution that would reopen the federal government. “Our goal in passing this bill was quite simple: keep the government functioning for the American people. You both are well aware of the vital services the federal government provides to millions of Americans across our country,” the Members wrote. “Roughly 56,000 Michiganders who work for the federal government are now furloughed and facing the possibility of missing their next paycheck due to this shutdown. There are over one million people in Michigan who rely on SNAP benefits. These individuals are now facing the reality that they won’t be able to afford groceries due to this shutdown gambit by your Senate leadership.” The Members continued, “Senate Minority Leader Schumer, with your backing, has made unrelated and outrageous policy demands that have nothing to do with government funding. It is long past time Senate Democrats stopped holding Michiganders and the American people hostage with this pointless showboating to far-left extremist elements.” The Senate is scheduled to vote on the House-passed continuing resolution today. Senators Peters and Slotkin have voted against the resolution five times previously. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
