Congressman Womack said, “Passing another continuing resolution represents a failure on Congress’ part to perform its most basic function—to fund the government. It is past time for us to recommit to regular order and pass appropriation bills on time. My vote to support this CR is a reflection on the short amount of time this administration has had to produce a budget and kickstart the appropriations process. It won’t be an excuse if we find ourselves in this same situation in September.”
