Stanton Statement on the Continuing Resolution
March 11, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C—Today Rep. Greg Stanton released the following statement on the Fiscal Year 2025 government funding bill, known as the continuing resolution:
"My job is to stand up for Arizonans, and Speaker Johnson's hyper-partisan continuing resolution fails Arizona. It fails to provide funding for veterans' health care, water infrastructure, and wildland firefighter pay. It fails to protect Arizonans' hard-earned benefits like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. And it fails to rein in Elon Musk and DOGE as they take a sledgehammer to critical services Arizonans rely on. I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and work on a bipartisan agreement, but on this bill I'm a no."
