 Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement on today’s vote to provide long-term funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

“The security of the American people should never be used as a political football. It was important that Republicans joined Democrats today to end this manufactured political crisis, fund our national security and finally provide certainty to the thousands of workers whose livelihoods have been caught in the middle. We should never have reached this point. America's national security is far too important, and the world far too dangerous to be playing these reckless political games. It is my hope that this can be a fresh start and that we can work together in a more bipartisan manner to address the pressing issues facing our nation. That’s what the American people deserve and it’s what they expect.”
