Congressman Horsford Calls For End To Budget Crises

As one of the 535 people at the US Capitol, I understand the importance of signing off on the spending deal to prevent another government shutdown. While the legislation may not be perfect, it fulfills the critical task of funding our government through the rest of the fiscal year. I spent my day in Washington discussing a bill I am co-sponsoring to support federal workers who endured the 35-day shutdown without pay. The bill aims to provide reimbursement for fees, fines, and interest incurred by these workers, who were not at fault for the shutdown. It is essential for Washington to act swiftly to ensure that their salaries continue uninterrupted. It is my hope that we can achieve a bipartisan agreement and learn from this experience to eliminate future shutdowns and the practice of short-term funding resolutions.
