WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, issued the following statement after the Senate approved legislation to fund the government through December 11.
“We worked hard to return to regular order, finding savings while funding our priorities, with the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bills. This legislation will extend that funding through December 11 to prevent a government shutdown,” said Senator Hoeven. “At the same time, we will continue working to find agreement to pass the full-year appropriations bills in a way that responsibly funds our priorities while reducing spending to help with the debt and deficit.”
