Sewell Votes for Continuing Resolution to Avert a Government Shutdown	2024-09-25	2024	2024-09	Democrat	House	AL	Terri A. Sewell	S001185	sewell.house.gov	sewell	https://sewell.house.gov/press-releases	scraper	Washington D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) voted in favor of a continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown and fund the federal government at current levels through December 20, 2024. Despite Republican infighting, House Democrats united to responsibly keep the government open. Sadly, 82 House Republicans followed former President Trump’s orders and attempted to shut down the government over disproven election lies. “I voted for this continuing resolution because it would prevent the costly and devastating effects of government shutdown. But make no mistake, the failure of House Republicans to fund the government through the regular appropriations process is leaving many of our federal agencies without adequate funding to serve the American people,” said Rep. Sewell. “For example, this measure would prolong Republicans’ $47.5 million cut to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, hurting the agency’s ability to combat gun violence in our communities.” “While Democrats have shown again and again that we are focused on governing, it is disappointing that so many House Republicans would rather take orders from Donald Trump than do what is best for the American people,” continued Sewell. ###	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-07T21:43:57Z
