Today Congressman Kevin Cramer (R-ND) along with fellow members of the bipartisan United Solutions Caucus Reps. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), Scott Peters (D-CA), David Valadao (R-CA) and Patrick Murphy (D-FL) released the following statement:
"The United Solutions Caucus was formed by freshmen members of the 113th Congress as a bipartisan call to address our country's great fiscal challenges and end governing by crisis. Today, as the government is shut down and the debt limit looms ahead, we renew our call for Congress to address our challenges head on and solve this crisis with a long-term solution."
Cramer is participating in frequent meetings of the Caucus during the current fiscal impasse.
On February 13, 2013, the United Solutions Caucus delivered a statement of principles to leadership in both parties. The bipartisan group of freshman Members aims to "secure the nation's fiscal heath with mutual understanding and without personal agendas or political gamesmanship".
