Today, Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher (TX-07) released the following statement after voting for the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, H.R. 9747, which extends government funding through December 20, 2024.

“Keeping our government funded and functioning is a fundamental responsibility of Congress,” said Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher.  “Today’s short-term extension of funding provides critical protections and programs that people across our community and country rely on.  While I supported this legislation, I hope that, moving forward, House Republicans will work in good faith to fund our government in a responsible manner before the December 20 deadline.”
