Sinema: “Now it’s time for Congress to do its job, put partisanship aside, and pass a commonsense, responsible budget”
WASHINGTON – Arizona senior Senator Kyrsten Sinema released the following statement on the bipartisan passage of a six-week continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown:
“While I’m relieved to see Congress come together and avoid a government shutdown, legislating at the last minute to avoid harming servicemembers, small businesses, wildland firefighters, and our brave men and women at the border is the bare minimum. Both parties’ willingness to cater to the extremes instead of delivering lasting solutions is dangerous and harmful for Arizona families. Now it’s time for Congress to do its job, put partisanship aside, and pass a commonsense, responsible budget to help everyday Arizonans build better lives for themselves and their families.”
