Strong | S001220 | strong.house.gov | strong | https://strong.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON— The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5860, legislation to extend funding for the federal government for 45 days by a vote of 335-91. Rep. Dale Strong voted in favor of H.R. 5860 and released the following statement. “After seeing the plan to finish our work on the remaining conservative appropriations bills, I supported extending funding for 45 days to ensure our troops are paid and our national security is protected. Over the next month, we will push through the most conservative appropriations bills in history. These bills, like the four we have passed already, are the best way to cut spending, protect the rights of parents and families, end woke policies in schools and our military, and secure the border. On Friday, the House of Representatives attempted to pass a funding bill that cut federal discretionary spending by 30%, protected our troops, veterans, and seniors, and included permanent border security measures. Some fringe members of the Republican Party blocked that bill from passing the House. Passing conservative legislation is the only way to force President Biden to accept conservative priorities. Shutting down the government today will only hurt our cause and America’s national security.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
