Rep. Laurel Lee Votes For Short Term Funding Measure to Avoid Government Shutdown

Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Laurel Lee (R-FL) voted in support of a temporary funding measure to keep the government open. This will fund the government through November 17, while safeguarding crucial funding for the American people, such as providing $16 billion for disaster relief funds. Rep. Lee is committed to finding a responsible solution that protects our servicemembers, southern border, and our economy.

“It is Congress’ Constitutional duty to fund the government. As the Fiscal Year ends tonight at midnight, I am fighting to keep the government open and pass a responsible temporary funding measure,” said Rep. Laurel Lee. “This short-term funding measure will keep the government open while we continue to work to pass a conservative budget that reduces government spending, secures our border and fully funds our military and veterans.”
