Womack Blasts Democrats for Forcing Government Shutdown
Washington,
September 30, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C.—September 30, 2025… Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the following statement after Democrats in the Senate blocked a continuing resolution to extend government funding at current levels through November 21, 2025, and prevent a government shutdown. Congressman Womack said, “Today, Democrats exhibited a baffling level of disregard for the American people by forcing a government shutdown. No fiscally responsible legislator wants to see our government funded through endless CRs, but choosing to shut down the government over radical demands is unreasonable and unjustifiable. Moving forward, my focus is fully on opening the government back up and passing each of the Fiscal Year 2026 funding bills into law.” Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) has represented Arkansas’s Third Congressional District since 2011. He is a member of the House Appropriations Committee. ### |
