Assistant Leader Neguse on Partisan Continuing Resolution: “I will not support legislation that cuts healthcare and veterans benefits for countless Coloradans”

Washington, D.C. — House Assistant Minority Leader Joe Neguse (CO-02) issued the following statement after voting “No” on House Republicans’ continuing resolution: 

“Republican Leadership just put forth a bill on the House Floor that abandons bipartisanship and fails to meet the needs of Coloradans across our great state. As the Trump Administration continues to dismantle federal agencies, purge core federal agencies like the Forest Service, and pursue reckless policies that are causing chaos across our economy, this legislation will only exacerbate the situation. Families in my home state of Colorado are suffering as a result of the directives issued by the Trump Administration, and I will not support legislation that seeks to expand the very same policies causing such harm.”
