Statement on Passage of Continuing Resolution

Washington, DC - This afternoon, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman issued the following statement on her NO vote for H.R. 5860:

“Today I voted against passage of a 45 day “Continuing Resolution” to fund the government at current spending levels. Even if only for 45 days, this is far more spending than I can support. Yesterday, the House had the opportunity to pass a shorter-term bill that would have secured our borders while reducing government spending. That was the bill the House should have passed and that was the bill I supported. 

We are $33 trillion in debt, and we have over 11,000 illegals crossing our border each day. I look forward to continuing the appropriations process to rein in this bloated government.”
