Press Release

Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR-05) voted in favor of S. Amdt. to H.R. 2872 to prevent a partial government shutdown. The stopgap measure, which passed on a bipartisan vote of 314-108, already passed the U.S. Senate and now heads to the president’s desk to be signed into law.

“Government shutdowns threaten important services that my constituents rely on, and that’s why I’m doing everything I can to keep the government funded and open. My voting record throughout this process has proven – and will continue to prove – that I won’t hesitate to stand up and do what’s right for Oregon. Congress needs to finish the job and get this government funded for the fiscal year so we can turn to other priorities like addressing the border crisis, improving public safety, reducing homelessness, and expanding access to affordable health and child care,” Chavez-DeRemer said.

This so-called laddered continuing resolution provides extensions for the following bills through March 1, 2024:

  • The Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act;
  • The Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act;
  • The Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act; and
  • The Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.

Separately, it provides extensions for the following bills through March 8, 2024:

  • The Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act;
  • The Department of Defense Appropriations Act;
  • The Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act;
  • The Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act;
  • The Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act;
  • The Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act;
  • The Legislative Branch Appropriations Act; and
  • The Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act.
