Rep. Rush Holt: ‘Extreme Minority’ to Blame for Government Shutdown

October 16, 2013 Our Federal Delegation

Rep_Holt_Official_Headshot — Rep. Rush Holt, D-NJ 12.

Following is a statement by U.S. Rep. Rush Holt, D-NJ 12, released after his vote to end the government shutdown:

“This bill ends an unnecessary, self-induced crisis. It fails to end sequestration’s painful cuts in government services. It fails to invest in creating new jobs. It follows costly weeks of government shutdown and unnerving the financial world. It sets up the near-certain prospect of additional confrontations over the budget and the debt ceiling early next year.
