Affirms that no one wins when the federal government shuts down. Urges Congress to maintain continuous federal operations through timely appropriations or continuing resolutions, to reject shutdowns as a negotiating tactic, and to provide predictable funding that protects families, workers, and the broader economy. Reaffirms a bipartisan commitment to stability and problem-solving and to stand ready to work with Illinois's Congressional Delegation, Democrats and Republicans alike, to keep government functioning and focused on the people we serve.
