WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR-05) voted in favor of H.R. 9747, a stopgap funding bill that will prevent a government shutdown on September 30 and extend critical programs, including protections for victims of SNAP theft. Chavez-DeRemer joined a bipartisan group of her colleagues last month, urging congressional leadership to extend these reimbursement protections.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill on a bipartisan vote, and it now heads to the U.S. Senate for consideration.
“I’ve consistently voted in a bipartisan manner to fund the government and prevent shutdowns because it’s the right thing to do for Oregonians. This bill will give the White House and congressional leaders from both parties more time to negotiate and fully fund the government for fiscal year 2025. In this divided Congress, it’s critical to find common ground so we can get back to addressing key issues for our constituents like passing the Agriculture Committee’s bipartisan Farm Bill, lowering utility bills, making housing more affordable, and improving public safety,” Chavez-DeRemer said.
