Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) released the following statement after voting against a Continuing Resolution (CR) to move the government funding deadline to December 20th, 2024, after Senate Democrats, led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) failed to bring any appropriations bills to the Senate floor on time.
“I’m a no on this CR, because the Senate had every opportunity to fund the government through regular order, but instead, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer willfully abandoned his responsibility and refused to bring appropriations bills to the floor,” said Sen. Mullin. “Unlike Oklahoma’s state government, Washington’s fiscal house is broken, and its far past time Congress makes getting our fiscal house in order the top priority.”
