Today, Congressman Wiley Nickel (NC-13) and House Democrats put people over politics and voted 341-82 to pass a bipartisan government funding package that keeps the government open and ensures the federal programs that help everyday North Carolinians continue uninterrupted.

“Today’s vote clearly demonstrates that House Democrats, as the responsible majority, were the driving force behind getting this funding bill across the finish line,” said Congressman Wiley Nickel. “We’re committed to governing effectively, while extreme MAGA Republicans only seek to create chaos and confusion. I’m proud to stand with my colleagues in support of this bipartisan government funding package that maintains current funding levels and delivers for America’s national defense, veterans, seniors, children, and working families, while addressing urgent needs for communities recovering from disaster.

“I came to Congress to get things done and will continue to put people over politics to find solutions and deliver results for my constituents.”
