Senator Murray Speaks on Senate Passage of CR to Prevent Needless Shutdown—and Path Ahead for Appropriations
***WATCH: Senator Murray’s floor remarks*** Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, spoke on the Senate floor after the Senate’s overwhelming passage of legislation to avert a needless government shutdown and underscored her commitment to delivering on other essential priorities—including supporting Ukraine—in the weeks ahead. Senator Murray’s full remarks, as delivered, are below:
Now that critical federal dollars have expired for child care providers, it's as urgent as ever that Congress act.
As I said on the Senate floor today, I am ready and willing to work with anyone to find common ground & tackle the child care crisis in America.
Tonight, we prevented a government shutdown, but it should have never come to this.
Speaker McCarthy, if you follow the most extreme members of your party and go down that same partisan path, they are going to lead you to the same dead end.
Bipartisanship is the only solution.
Politics isn’t a game: sometimes you just choose to do the right thing because you know quite clearly what the right thing is.
Shutting down the government simply isn't. It's time for Speaker McCarthy to do the right thing.
Speaker McCarthy doesn't have a serious plan to avoid a shutdown, but fortunately, the Senate has already put one together—& it’s not too late to do the right thing.
I hope the Speaker will commit to bringing our bipartisan funding bill to the floor for a vote ASAP.
I was on the Senate floor laying the facts out to the American people who I am sure are as frustrated as I am about how pointless it would be to shut down if House Republicans continue to exude chaos, and how ridiculous it is we are even at this point.
This week I visited the site of the Hurricane Ridge Day Lodge. Like so many others across Washington state, I was devastated when I heard a fire had burned it down earlier this year. But the people I spoke to here on the peninsula are resilient and ready to rebuild.
This is a place that’s brought together people from all across our state to enjoy the natural beauty of the Olympic Peninsula and spend time with their loved ones. I’m going to fight to make sure we have the federal funds needed to help rebuild the lodge so people can continue to enjoy it for generations to come.
