New Democrat Coalition Leadership Members on the Bipartisan Continuing Resolution to Avoid a Government Shutdown
Today, New Democrat Coalition Chair Annie Kuster (NH-02), Vice Chair for Communications Brad Schneider (IL-10), and Vice Chair for Policy Derek Kilmer (WA-06) released the following statement on the bipartisan agreement for a clean Continuing Resolution to avoid a government shutdown by extending funding until March 1 and March 8:
“New Dems have always been laser-focused on working across the aisle to deliver durable policies for hard-working Americans. From the beginning, our Members have worked to find common ground with Republicans on everything from funding the government and preventing a catastrophic default on our debt, to ensuring our allies around the globe have the resources they need to fight for freedom and democracy.
“That’s why we support this continuing resolution to extend funding and avert a harmful and costly government shutdown. Last year, New Dems were essential to passing the bipartisan Fiscal Responsibility Act, and we look forward to working with our colleagues across the aisle and Capitol to pass a long-term government funding bill in line with this bipartisan agreement.
“It’s more important than ever that Americans have certainty and trust in our government. New Dems will help provide much-needed stability as we vote to keep the government open and working for the American people.”
