Ciscomani Votes to Reopen Federal Government

WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Representative Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06) voted in support of the Senate Amendment to (H.R. 5371) Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act which will end the federal government shutdown once it is signed by President Trump.  

“I was proud to vote for this bill to reopen the government and restore regular order in Congress for the American people. This legislation builds on the appropriations work we completed earlier this summer for Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, the Legislative Branch, and the Agriculture, Rural Development, and Food and Drug Administration divisions,” Congressman Ciscomani said. “It ends the shutdown for thousands of federal employees, SNAP recipients, and others who rely on a functioning federal government — and it delivers real wins for Arizona’s Sixth District, including over $340,000 for the Oracle Fire District. This shutdown was completely unnecessary and overdue to end. It’s disappointing to still see so many democrats, especially Arizonans, voting to remain shut down. But I’m proud to vote in favor of delivering results and restoring stability for the communities I serve.”
