WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Max Miller (OH-07) made the following statement after voting against H.R. 9747, a continuing resolution to fund the government through December 20. The bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 341 – 82. 

“Congress has had all year to pass the twelve appropriations bills that are required to fund the government responsibly. Instead of doing that and standing by what we said we would do, we once again kicked the can down the road and set ourselves up for another omnibus spending bill right before the holidays. 

Last week, I voted in favor of the six-month stopgap funding bill because it included the SAVE Act, important legislation to ensure that only Americans can vote in American elections. I believed then – and I believe now – that safeguarding America’s elections is vitally important.  In addition to making our elections more secure, this bill would have kept us from getting jammed at the end of the year. 

This is no way to govern. Let’s get to regular order, pass our appropriations bills, and hold the line on spending as we’ve promised to do”
