Thompson Opposes Short-Term Funding Measure

September 21, 2021

WASHINGTON — Following the passing of the short-term continuing resolution for Fiscal Year 2022 government funding, U.S. Representative Glenn "GT" Thompson released the following statement:

"Democrats are in control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, but they tied a debt limit increase to the continued operations of the federal government. This is because they cannot build consensus within their ranks or get their work done on time. In fact, Democrat leadership bowed to push back from its own Members to abandon our friend and ally, Israel, and remove critical funding for their defense system. I cannot in good conscience support this short-sighted measure."
