Congressman Suhas Subramanyam Releases Statement On His Vote Against Continuing Resolution

“I came to Congress to deliver results for our community and build a stronger country. My constituents expect Congress to lower costs, build a strong economy, keep us safe and healthy, and support working families, including the tens of thousands of federal workers and contractors who live in our district. 

Unfortunately, this partisan funding bill delivers on none of these things. This proposal enables the illegal, unconstitutional actions of this administration that have already thrown the lives of tens of thousands into turmoil. It will also drive-up costs, make us less safe, and undermine the health of every American. 

Instead of making affordable housing more obtainable, this bill will kick thousands of families out of their homes.

Instead of honoring the pact we made with our veterans to ensure their wellbeing, this bill cuts tens of billions of dollars for their care.

Instead of upholding Congress’ power of the purse, this bill will surrender congressional authority and give President Trump and DOGE a blank check to engage in unrestrained corruption.

I will be voting against this bill and, instead, I call on the House to pass legislation to keep the government open and immediately resume work on bipartisan, full-year appropriations bills. A bipartisan plan will keep us safe, care for our most vulnerable, and enable our communities to thrive and prosper.

That’s what I was sent to Congress to do.”
