Congressman Glenn Grothman (R-WI) released the following statement regarding the risk of a government shutdown due to House Democrats’ actions: “I am once again calling on Democrats to join Republicans in voting for legislation to ensure the government remains open before tonight’s deadline,” said Congressman Grothman. “I voted for similar bills in the past to keep the government running, even when I disagreed with President Biden, because a government shutdown complicates people’s lives. “We know some in the Democrat Party support a shutdown simply to oppose President Trump. It’s up to Democrat leaders to prioritize the American people over political games and prevent a shutdown. “If a shutdown does occur, we should use the opportunity to review government positions and identify unnecessary roles. The ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ was a step in the right direction, and now we may have the opportunity to do more to eliminate waste and help secure permanent savings before the U.S. dollar loses further value.” -30- U.S. Rep.
