Malliotakis Statement on Passage of Bill to Avert Government Shutdown

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis today released the following statement regarding the House's passage of a Continuing Resolution to avoid a government shutdown:

“This revised funding package allows Congress to address the basics of what needs to be done to keep our government funded at current levels, deliver aid to our fellow Americans suffering from natural disasters and protect our agricultural supply chains. Not only is this straightforward bill much more palatable to me, but it respects the taxpayers we represent, unlike the previous backroom boondoggle I opposed that was over 1,500 pages long and gave unnecessary and costly giveaways to the Democrats. Passing this legislation today gives us what we need until President Trump is sworn in and settled so our Republican trifecta can deliver the results the American people voted for.”
