Rep. Mark Messmer (R-IN) has released a statement following the passage of a bill in the House of Representatives that reopens the federal government after a 43-day shutdown. The shutdown had halted paychecks and benefits for many Americans.
Messmer criticized Democrats, stating, “Without any regard for the struggles and dire needs of the American people, Democrats shut down the federal government, and brought to a halt paychecks and important benefits families depend upon,” said Rep. Messmer. “In their quest to push radical leftist ideals, Democrats punished some of our country’s most vulnerable. Hoosiers deserve a reliable government they can depend upon and I am relieved that we are finally back in business so our brave troops can get paid and Food Stamp funding can resume. I hope and pray that Democrats don’t do this to our country ever again.”
Messmer noted his support for measures to fund the government, including voting for September’s clean Continuing Resolution legislation as well as the latest bill. These actions aim to provide backpay for military personnel, federal employees, and those who rely on SNAP benefits.
