WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the statement below on her vote to support the Continuing Resolution which would keep the government funded and avoid a shutdown through December 20, 2024. 

“The Senate and the House just came together across the aisle to avoid a shutdown as we continue to negotiate on the budget. This means federal law enforcement pay will be uninterrupted, critical clinical trials and medical research can continue, small businesses will still be able to access financing, and our economy will not be subject to a preventable shockwave. Brinkmanship only hurts the American people and our economy, and I’m committed to working in a bipartisan way to get things done.”
