Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | October 1, 2025 Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) released the following statement in light of the federal government shutdown, effective October 1, 2025. On September 19, Congresswoman Miller voted in favor of the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, which would have continued Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations through November 21, 2025. The bill passed in the House of Representatives 217-212, but failed in the Senate. “Democrats are holding our government hostage unless their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands are met. Their shutdown will leave our service members unpaid, put vital healthcare and housing programs for Veterans at risk, and jeopardize flood insurance for millions of Americans during Hurricane season. Meanwhile, House Republicans have passed a clean, simple budget extension to ensure stability for our seniors, veterans, and troops across the country. I urge my Democrat colleagues in the Senate to abandon their ‘obstruction at all costs’ politics and pass this continuing resolution so our federal services can continue operating without interruption," said Congresswoman Carol Miller. Background On September 19, 2025, Congresswoman Carol Miller voted in favor of H.R. 5371 - Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, which provides continuing FY2026 appropriations to federal agencies through November 21, 2025, preventing a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2026 appropriations bills have not been enacted when FY2026 begins on October 1, 2025. The bill funds most programs and activities at the FY2025 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility and additional appropriations for various programs. For example, the bill provides additional funding for security for Members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, and executive branch officials. It also authorizes the District of Columbia to spend local funds at the rates included in its FY2026 local budget. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
