Tonko Statement on Passage of Long-Term Extension of DHS Funding

Statement

"After months of lurching from one manufactured crisis to the next, House Leadership finally listened to reason and gave the clean DHS funding bill the up-or-down vote needed to maintain our national security. I hope this will serve as a teaching moment to Congress that we govern best when we work together. Keeping our country safe and providing routine funding to agencies that keep our nation working should not be a partisan, dramatic process. The American people work hard and achieve results, and they should see the same out of their elected leaders," said Tonko.
