Congressman Glenn Grothman (R-WI) has issued a statement urging House Democrats to support legislation aimed at keeping the federal government open as a shutdown deadline approaches.
“I am once again calling on Democrats to join Republicans in voting for legislation to ensure the government remains open before tonight’s deadline,” said Congressman Grothman. “I voted for similar bills in the past to keep the government running, even when I disagreed with President Biden, because a government shutdown complicates people’s lives.
“We know some in the Democrat Party support a shutdown simply to oppose President Trump. It’s up to Democrat leaders to prioritize the American people over political games and prevent a shutdown.
“If a shutdown does occur, we should use the opportunity to review government positions and identify unnecessary roles. The ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ was a step in the right direction, and now we may have the opportunity to do more to eliminate waste and help secure permanent savings before the U.S. dollar loses further value.”
Grothman represents Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. He has consistently won re-election since first taking office, including victories over John Zarbano in 2024, Jessica King in 2020, Dan Kohl in 2018, Sarah Lloyd in 2016, and Mark L. Harris in 2014.
