Rep. Fitzgerald Statement on Passage of Short-Term Government Funding Extension
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement after voting to pass H.R. 5371, the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026.
“This short-term, clean CR gives us the time we need to finish the work of passing long-term funding bills that reduce spending. I’ll continue working with my colleagues to ensure we keep the government open and move responsible spending bills forward in a transparent process.
“House Republicans, Senate Republicans, and President Trump support this measure. If Democrats force a shutdown, it will be on them and it will show their hypocrisy after rubber-stamping every CR under President Biden while never prioritizing fiscal responsibility.”

Oh, look! Somebody shook Fitzy awake enough to carry some more Frump water and stamp his name on a pre-written press release.
Note: It was Frump that called for the government to be shut down in September of 2023 and again in December of 2024, in both cases so he could blame the shutdown on Joe Biden. The man-child occupying the Oval Office seems to change his mind more often than his Depends.
