Bean Votes to End DHS Shutdown

WASHINGTON-For the fourth time, House Republicans voted last night to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), passing the House Amendment to the Senate Amendment to H.R. 7147, the Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026. In response, U.S. Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04) released the following statement.

Upon casting his vote, Congressman Bean said, "Once again, House Republicans voted to end the pointless shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security. We took decisive action to secure critical funding for TSA agents, disaster relief, and national security-prioritizing the safety and well-being of Americans. But most importantly, this bill doesn't selectively decide which parts of homeland security matter. Rather, it ensures critical missions and all personnel are resourced and ready."
