Congressman Subramanyam Releases Statement on His Vote Against the Republican Continuing Resolution

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Subramanyam voted against House Republicans’ Continuing Resolution (CR) and issued the following statement: 

“I cannot in good conscience support a measure that will continue to cause Virginians so much hardship. House Republicans, with full control of government, have decided to risk a shutdown by passing a measure that will raise health care costs and only continue the firing of federal workers and contractors.

Instead, I will fight efforts to take away people’s access to affordable healthcare, and I will not accept partisan measures that cut vital federal programs and fire federal workers en masse. My hope is that House Republicans will instead come to the table and negotiate a bipartisan plan to avoid a shutdown.”
