Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) voted in favor of the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026, which includes a continuing resolution and three full-year Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bills. The legislation is set to reopen the federal government once signed by President Donald Trump, extending funding through January 30th and providing back pay to all federal workers.
In a statement after the bill’s passage, Miller said: “I was happy to join my House colleagues in ending the Democrats’ hostage takeover of the federal government leading to the longest shutdown in our nation’s history. For 43 days, our service members have gone without pay, thousands of federal workers were furloughed, and essential programs, such as SNAP, were left unfunded.
The American people deserve a government that works for them. Instead, Democrats used our citizens’ safety and security as a bargaining chip for their $1.5 trillion demands. This is disgraceful. House Republicans acted responsibly by passing the original Continuing Resolution in September and continue to put Americans first by passing this new funding bill today,” said Rep. Carol Miller.
