Press Release
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) issued this statement after Senate Democrats failed to join House and Senate Republicans to pass a short-term spending bill that would avoid a government shutdown.
Rep. Kelly and House Republicans passed the spending bill on September 19.
"The spending bill passed by House Republicans last month is a clean, responsible short-term solution -- without strings attached -- to keep the government's lights on and its doors open," said Rep. Kelly. "Now, Senate Democrats have repeatedly rejected our legislation and are demanding to include more than $1 trillion in new spending. Make no mistake -- The Schumer Shutdown could have been avoided."
