Kaptur responds to short-term Homeland Security funding legislation

WASHINGTON—Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur issued the following statement tonight after the House of Representatives voted to approve legislation to fund the Department of Homeland Security for one week:

“Tonight, our House Democratic leadership has assured our Members that we will vote by end of next week on full and steady funding of the Department through Sept. 30. Regular order and certainty for the Department have been the objectives of the Democratic Party through these trying weeks, which have been filled with unnecessary delays that have created hardship for our front line workers who defend America in our homeland every day."

Let us get the job done here in Congress to protect our homeland and the safety of the American people.”
