WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin released the following statement regarding her opposition to the Republican proposed legislation to fund the government.  

“I will be voting no on the Continuing Resolution tomorrow. First, because this bill is bad for Michigan. It makes significant cuts to Michigan’s key infrastructure projects, cuts the VA and harms our Great Lakes.  

“But on top of that, my Republican colleagues offered no assurances that the money wouldn’t just be redirected at the whim of Elon Musk. They offered no assurances that the Trump Administration would follow the law. 

“In my time in Congress, I have always worked to negotiate and support bipartisan budgets. But I cannot support this legislation as it exists today.”
