Dear friend,
This week, Congress passed a bipartisan funding agreement that ensures our government will remain open and that Washington families can continue to access the critical services they rely on, like Social Security and VA benefits.
While I’m glad that we avoided a government shutdown, it is unacceptable that House Republicans played games for weeks, risking the well-being of American families, veterans, and our national security.
We must now work together to fund our government for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025. For that to happen, House Republicans must drop their extreme demands and join Democrats at the negotiating table to reach a bipartisan agreement. In a divided government, bipartisanship is the only way to get a bill through both the House and Senate and to President Biden’s desk.
If you need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact my Kirkland office at (425) 485-0085 or delbene.house.gov. For more updates on what I’m doing for WA-01, you can follow me on social media at the links above.
Take care,
Suzan
