Rep. Antonio Delgado Statement on Continuing Resolution

Statement

Today, U.S. Representative Antonio Delgado (NY-19) released the following statement after a bipartisan coalition passed H.R. 4378, a continuing resolution which will keep the government funded at current levels through November 21, 2019:

"Today, I voted for a bipartisan continuing resolution that keeps our government open and ensures that our community health centers, teaching hospitals, and higher education and critical safety net programs remain operational while Congress continues its work toward agreement on a budget. While this bill avoids another costly and harmful shutdown in the short-term, let me be clear--this is no way to govern." Delgado continued, "With this additional time, I urge my colleagues in both the House and Senate to come to a bipartisan agreement that gives families, farmers, and communities the peace of mind and security that Congress will do its job and ensure that the programs they depend on are adequately funded. I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find common ground, and fund our priorities while ensuring our nation stays on a fiscally responsible path. "
