Congresswoman Lee Statement on Vote to Prevent Government Shutdown That Would Devastate Nevada
WASHINGTON — Today, ahead of a looming December 20th government shutdown, Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03) released the following statement on her vote in support of a short-term government funding continuing resolution (CR):
“House Republican Leadership should not have betrayed their word on a negotiated bipartisan deal to prevent a shutdown because Elon Musk — an unelected multi-billionaire — told them to.
“We stood strong against Musk and House Republicans’ failed attempt to defund Social Security.
“This bill protects Nevada’s working families, economy, seniors, veterans, and servicemembers. It will keep the government open, lower costs, invest $70 million in Nevada, and strengthen our national security.
“I am once again asking House Republican Leadership to work with both parties on a long-term budget.”
