Washington, D.C. - Congressman Paul A. Gosar, representing Arizona's 9th District, has voted against the Further Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, also known as the laddered continuing resolution. This legislation, which extends government funding through February 2, 2024, has failed to include important border security measures.

In a statement, Congressman Gosar expressed his concerns about the bill, stating, "Failing to include any spending cuts and continuing to fund the entire Biden-Pelosi woke agenda that is destroying our country... is not something I could support."

One of the key issues raised by Congressman Gosar is the lack of measures to secure the southern border, which has become a major concern for his district in Arizona. He highlighted the alarming statistics of illegal immigration and the flow of fentanyl into the country since President Biden took office. Congressman Gosar emphasized, "Any continuing resolution proposal must include the border security measures included in H.R. 2, legislation that already passed the House of Representatives, and would reverse Biden's reckless open border policies."

Additionally, Congressman Gosar criticized the reauthorization of the Farm Bill without proper discussion or debate. He argued that it is irresponsible and prevents Congress from making improvements to the bill.

In his concluding remarks, Congressman Gosar called for an end to the cycle of temporary funding deals that fail to address spending, reverse the Biden-Pelosi agenda, or address the border crisis. He urged Congress to prioritize the needs of the American people.

This vote by Congressman Gosar highlights his commitment to fiscal responsibility and securing the nation's borders. As the debate over government funding continues, the issue of border security remains a top priority for him and his constituents in Arizona.

Congressman Gosar's opposition to the continuing resolution sends a clear message that he will not support runaway spending or legislation that does not address the pressing issues facing the nation.
