Tom Cole: “To have fellow citizens going through that on a daily basis to me is unconscionable.”

It gives the nation and our constituents certainty, certainty that the government will remain open, certainty that our service members will be paid.

The bill before us is a clean, narrowly tailored continuing resolution that keeps the government open and operating. Nothing more. Nothing less.

We're going to be in a crunch time.

We will engage where it matters, we will invest where it counts, and we will demand accountability for every dollar spent.
