U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) issued the following statement after voting for legislation that would end the current federal government shutdown:
“Over the past 40 days, I have said over and over again that Hoosiers didn’t send me to Congress to shut down the government. I am frustrated that this shutdown has dragged on this long and negatively affected our country in so many ways. I am grateful for all of the dedicated federal workers, such as our service members and air traffic controllers, who continued to work throughout the shutdown. I urge my colleagues in the House to pass this bill and get it to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law. It’s time to get back to work on all of the important issues facing our country.”
The bill includes a continuing resolution to reopen the federal government until January 30, 2026, along with a full-year appropriations bill for Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, and the Legislative Branch. The temporary stopgap will allow Congress to continue working toward full-year bills for the remaining federal agencies.
The legislation passed the Senate 60 to 40 and now heads to the House of Representatives for consideration. If the legislation passes the House, it would be sent to the President’s desk to be signed into law.
Over the past six weeks, Young voted 15 times for a clean bill that would fund and reopen the government, but Senate Democrats blocked the first 14 attempts.
