Aderholt: "The House has done our job, it is time for the Senate to do theirs"

September 20, 2013

Washington, D.C. — Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) released the following statement after the United States House of Representatives passed H.J.Res. 59, a short-term Continuing Resolution (CR) that defunds Obamacare, funds the government through December 15th and provides appropriators an opportunity to continue working on FY 2014 bills and ensure that House Republican priorities are reflected in the bills sent to the Senate.

“Today, I supported a Continuing Resolution that defunds Obamacare and keeps the government running through the end of the year,” said Aderholt. “The House has done our job, it is time for the Senate to do theirs and show American’s where they stand. As the clock ticks us days closer to the implementation of Obamacare and the end of the fiscal year, the time for the Senate to act is now.”

Aderholt currently serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies for the powerful House Appropriations Committee, is a member of the Committee’s Commerce, Justice and Science; and Homeland Security Subcommittees, and also serves on the Helsinki Commission.
