Statement

Date: Jan. 22, 2018
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the following statement after the House and Senate voted again to keep the government open with a short-term funding extension:

"I'm pleased that this unnecessary shutdown has ended. Funding the government is among the most fundamental of our legislative duties. Making demands unrelated to funding and resulting in a shutdown is legislative malfeasance. We should now focus our efforts on resolving the many remaining challenges facing our country--and doing so in a constructive way."
