U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) voted against a Continuing Resolution (CR) intended to extend the government funding deadline to December 20, 2024. This decision came after Senate Democrats, led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), did not bring any appropriations bills to the Senate floor on time.

“I’m a no on this CR, because the Senate had every opportunity to fund the government through regular order, but instead, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer willfully abandoned his responsibility and refused to bring appropriations bills to the floor,” said Sen. Mullin. “Unlike Oklahoma’s state government, Washington’s fiscal house is broken, and it’s far past time Congress makes getting our fiscal house in order the top priority.”
