WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA-04) released the following statement upon passage of the Senate package to end the government shutdown out of the House of Representatives.
As we barrel towards a government shutdown due to Senate Democrats’ refusal to pass a clean continuing resolution (CR), essential programs and services here in Central Washington are now at risk. Congress has the responsibility under our Constitution to fund the federal government, and allowing a shutdown is a disservice to the American people.
On September 30, the federal government’s funding will lapse, and a government shutdown will begin if Congress does not pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) to extend current funding levels. Just last week, the House of Representatives passed a clean CR to keep the government open until November 21, which would prevent a shutdown and allow us to continue negotiating the Fiscal Year 2026 government funding legislation. Now, the responsibility falls on the Senate to follow suit, pass the House CR, and keep our government open.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA-04) released the following statement upon passage of the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 by the House of Representatives with a vote of 217-212.
"We have a responsibility to fund the federal government, and this clean continuing resolution does just that while allowing us to finish negotiating the appropriations bills that rein in federal spending," said Rep. Newhouse.
