Heinrich Statement on Vote to Keep Government Open

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, released the following statement after voting to pass a continuing resolution to keep federal agencies funded through March 8, 2024, and March 22, 2024, respectively.

“New Mexico families deserve a functioning federal government. Today we avoided a shutdown that would have had real consequences on working people. That's important, but it’s also the bare minimum.

“In the weeks ahead, I’m focused on working hard for the hardworking people of New Mexico – to finally pass the substantive funding bills that will grow our economy, strengthen our national security, and invest in our communities.”
