OKC Standard

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government through December 20th, avoiding an imminent shutdown.

Congresswoman Bice commented on the decision: "While this CR is imperfect and not what I preferred, it was the only option left. I could not in good conscience vote to shut the government down, which would have damaging effects on our community, our military, and our border patrol agents."

Bice criticized Senate Democrats for their lack of action: "The true disservice is that Senator Schumer and Senate Democrats refuse to bring any meaningful piece of legislation for a vote. The House has passed numerous appropriations bills, encompassing over 70% of government funding, while also working to secure our border and our elections. The Senate has done nothing but Judicial nominations."
