Congresswoman Maloy Releases Statement Following Government Shutdown

Congresswoman Celeste Maloy (UT-02) released the following statement after the government shut down at midnight:

"The House passed a clean 7-week continuing resolution that would have kept the government open, ensured our troops were paid, and allowed time to finish the FY26 appropriations process. It also maintained the very funding levels Democrats supported earlier this year and last year. This shutdown is unnecessary, and the responsibility lies with Senate Democrats who chose to use it as leverage to push for trillions in new spending - an approach they knew would not succeed. This shutdown is not principled, it is purely political."
