(September 29, 2023) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives ahead of the potential House Republican government shutdown. Below are Rep. McGarvey’s remarks: I rise today because I’m frustrated. I came here to work — to work across the aisle and get things done. Right-wing extremists are preventing us from doing our most important job: passing a budget. It is catastrophic for our country, our community, and our economy if extremist Republicans shut down our government. Let me be clear: Kentuckians cannot afford a shutdown. 119,884 Kentucky moms and babies will lose access to vital nutrition assistance, and nearly 556,000 SNAP recipients lose access to their benefits in a prolonged shutdown. 10,672 federal civilian workers in my district could be furloughed or have to work without pay. These are real consequences to Republicans’ harmful actions. So pass a spending bill; it’s our job. And when you’re done playing political games, we’re ready to work together to avoid a disastrous shutdown. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |
