Rep. Jim Costa Votes to Keep Government Funded

WASHINGTON - Congressman Jim Costa (CA-21) released the following statement:

"It’s good that we have passed a continuing resolution and avoided a government shutdown. I have never voted in favor of a government shutdown, and to do so is irresponsible. This continuing resolution will allow our government to continue serving the people, and I’m grateful we were able to reach a bipartisan compromise. House Democrats have made it clear that we want to work in a bipartisan manner to meet the needs of our constituents. We will continue to work secure a long-term budget that puts the needs of the American people first." said Congressman Costa.
