CORREA (AGAIN) VOTES TO AVERT A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) (again) voted to avert a government shutdown and released the following statement:

“Today, I joined a bipartisan coalition of my colleagues to keep our government open for its citizens, and ensure that the national security of this country isn’t put at risk—though this does feel a little like déjà vu,” Correa said. “Threatening to shut our government down without long-term bipartisan solutions is not fair to anyone—not to our troops, our seniors, our veterans, or Orange County families. Rest assured, I will always prioritize our national security and will never stop fighting to ensure our community’s working families are kept out of harm’s way.”
