Pocan Votes to Extend Government Funding

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-02), a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, released the following statement after he voted to extend government funding through March 1st. 

“House Republicans are yet again kicking the can down the road and continuing to prove they cannot govern. They wasted seven months trying to pass extreme appropriations bills, not a single one of which has been signed into law or even taken up by the Senate. Funding the government is the most basic function of Congress. It’s past time for Republicans to get serious and work with Democrats to fund the government for a full year instead of just a few weeks at a time.”
