Upton Votes to Fund Government (Again)

Statement

U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, today joined the majority of his House colleagues in voting to, again, fund the government. Upton released the following statement:

"Finally this unnecessary government shutdown is over. As a member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus we spent the weekend working to come up with a solution. Tonight, we reauthorized the critical CHIP program for six years, the longest reauthorization in the program's history, and we repealed the Medical Device Tax which is so important for employers here in Southwest Michigan. As we move forward, we'll also need to come up with a bipartisan resolution for DACA folks. Hopefully today will be the basis for much-needed bipartisan cooperation ahead."
