Malliotakis Statement on Vote to Avert a Government Shutdown

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) today released the following statement regarding her vote to avert a shutdown and keep the government fully funded through at least January 19, 2024.

"House Republicans have been diligently working to pass seven of the twelve appropriations bills that cut wasteful spending and repeal many of President Biden's reckless policies; the Senate has passed three. Today I voted to keep our government open while we continue to work through the remaining components of our plan to restore fiscal responsibility in Washington. With our ally at war and growing threats here at home, calls for a shutdown are irresponsible and especially cruel toward American families, federal employees and military service members who would see programs and pay withheld during the holiday season."

Under House Republicans' plan, agencies dealing with Agriculture, Military Construction/Veterans Affairs, Energy and Water, and Transportation and Housing and Urban Development will be funded until January 19th, 2024. The remaining agency appropriations — for the Departments of Commerce, Justice and Science; Defense; Financial Services; Homeland Security; Interior and Environment; Labor, Health and Human Services and Education; Legislative Branch; State and foreign operations — will be funded to February 2.
