New Dem Chair Comes Out In Support of Bipartisan Continuing Resolution

Today, New Democrat Coalition Chair Annie Kuster (NH-02) released the following statement on the 45-day funding bill. 

“The American people elected us to Congress to solve problems, not create them. Yet, for weeks, Speaker McCarthy and extreme House Republicans have refused to work in good faith with Democrats to fully fund the government, despite our continued calls to find a bipartisan path forward.

“At the last second, Republicans have come forward with a resolution that will keep the government open for 45 days and provide much-needed disaster relief. Let’s be clear: this isn’t a perfect deal or a permanent solution, but New Dems are dedicated to avoiding a shutdown and protecting our economy. While we support this measure to end this immediate crisis, we continue our calls for additional funding to support Ukraine in their fight for democracy and will work tirelessly to ensure they have the assistance required to win this war.”
