WASHINGTON, D.C. – On September 16, the House Appropriations Committee released the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026. This bill would extend government funding at current levels through November 21, 2025.
Patrice Onwuka, director of the Center for Economic Opportunity at Independent Women, issued the following statement:
“This clean continuing resolution is a necessary step to keeping the government running even as Congress does the good work to pass responsible appropriations bills through regular order. Americans did not vote for a dysfunctional government. They want a right-sized government, and so far, this Congress has taken that mandate seriously. Furthermore, in light of the horrendous slaying of Charlie Kirk, this CR provides members of Congress with additional protections so that they can serve their constituents. We urge all members to pass this clean CR to prevent disruptions to national security, public safety, veterans care, and social safety net programs while bringing back fiscal responsibility.”
