Messmer | M001233 | messmer.house.gov | messmer | https://messmer.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Mark Messmer (R-IN) issued the following statement praising the passage of the House of Representatives’ bill to reopen the federal government after 43 days during which Democrats voted repeatedly to keep it shuttered: “Without any regard for the struggles and dire needs of the American people, Democrats shut down the federal government, and brought to a halt paychecks and important benefits families depend upon,” said Rep. Messmer. “In their quest to push radical leftist ideals, Democrats punished some of our country’s most vulnerable. Hoosiers deserve a reliable government they can depend upon and I am relieved that we are finally back in business so our brave troops can get paid and Food Stamp funding can resume. I hope and pray that Democrats don’t do this to our country ever again.” Rep. Messmer has consistently voted to fund the government by supporting September’s clean Continuing Resolution legislation, as well as the most recent bill, which will deliver backpay for the troops, federal workers, and SNAP funding beneficiaries who rely upon these critical safety nets.
