Today, U.S. Representative Brittany Pettersen (CO-07) released the following statement after voting for legislation to fund the government temporarily until March 14, 2025. 

“While I’m relieved that we passed legislation to keep the government temporarily open, it’s unacceptable that Republicans repeatedly push us to the brink of a shutdown. Republicans had ample opportunity to work with Democrats to fund the government but instead chose to put the interests of billionaires over hardworking Coloradans. 

“This constant chaos and dysfunction jeopardize our national security, undermine our military readiness, and disrupt the critical services that millions of Americans rely on. As we move forward, I urge my Republican colleagues to put partisanship aside and work with Democrats to fund the government and fulfill the critical responsibilities we were elected to carry out for the American people.”
