Joyce Votes for Continuing Resolution to Avoid Harmful Shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Dave Joyce (OH-14) released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 9770, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2027. This bill provides continued levels of funding for federal agencies and prevents a government shutdown through December 4, 2026, while longer-term negotiations continue.

“As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, it is my responsibility to keep the government funded and working for the American people. Today’s passage of this continuing resolution supports that mission, enabling Congress to continue working to establish regular order in our government funding process.”

“While the House Appropriations Committee has been making tremendous progress by advancing all twelve funding bills out of Committee, it is vital that we ensure there is no lapse in appropriations as we work to pass these bills in the House and the Senate, and see them signed into law. This measure is temporary, and I will continue to work with my colleagues to complete the Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations process and maintain fiscal responsibility in our federal government.”
