U.S. Senator Deb Fischer of Nebraska announced her support for a funding resolution that keeps the federal government operating. In a statement released after the vote, Fischer said, “Today, I voted for a clean funding resolution that keeps the government open so Congress can continue working on our full-year funding bills. The Democrats, instead, voted for a $1 trillion increase in new spending and to eliminate the $50 billion Rural Hospital Stabilization Fund. Let me be clear: Americans deserve a transparent and accountable process as we fund government – not a Schumer shutdown filled with political theater. As we work toward a solution, my staff and I will continue to work for Nebraska, and my offices will remain open for the duration of a government shutdown.”

Fischer emphasized her commitment to maintaining services for constituents during any potential lapse in federal operations.
