Sykes: Congress Must Put People Over Politics To Avoid A Shutdown | 2023-09-29 | 2023 | 2023-09 | Democrat | House | OH | Emilia Strong Sykes | S001223 | sykes.house.gov | sykes | https://sykes.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Representative Emilia Sykes (OH-13) issued a statement after the House Republican Continuing Resolution that contained extreme funding cuts to vital government services failed on the House floor this afternoon. As a result, our country is recklessly charging towards a manufactured government shutdown with devastating consequences for the people of Ohio’s 13th Congressional District: “It’s clear with this latest bill that extreme politicians in Washington are still more focused on introducing irresponsible, reckless funding bills than working on a bipartisan solution to avoid a government shutdown,” said Rep. Sykes. “I will always put the people of Ohio’s 13th Congressional District first. I refuse to support devastating cuts to the critical services our neighbors rely on, including slashing funding for Social Security, eliminating life-saving healthcare services, reducing food assistance to children and families, cutting K-12 education and laying off local educators, and defunding our law enforcement to make the border less secure. People in my district are tired of the political games— they want real leadership. It’s why I’ve introduced my Feed Our Families Act and the Pay Our Military Act to provide stability and certainty in the case of an extremist-manufactured shutdown. I’m committed to working with anyone — Republicans or Democrats — to pass a realistic budget that invests in Northeast Ohioans and avoids a catastrophic government shutdown.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
