In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“This funding bill keeps the federal government open and working for the American people for the remainder of the fiscal year so that families have access to safe, reliable, and affordable utilities, health care, housing, roads, railways, and air travel as well as job and entrepreneurial opportunities. This bill will help ensure our military families are cared for, our national defense is strong, and our election security remains vigilant.”
Bishop Votes To Reopen Government & Focus Congress on ICE, Public SafetyFeb 4, 2026 · Official · Official [house.gov] · source
“I am outraged that ICE is aggressively sweeping up American citizens and law-abiding immigrant families. We need guardrails to protect the public's safety and make sure immigration enforcement is just, fair, and humane. Rather than providing ICE with a blank check, this bill froze its funding.”
