WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Brad Finstad (MN-01) released the following statement after today’s vote on H.R. 9747, Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025:

“Today, I voted against the continuing resolution because it is past time that we bring an end to this pattern of out-of-control government spending,” said Rep. Finstad. “This short-term extension is irresponsible and does not represent what the American people sent us here to do.”

“Though the government will remain functioning for the time being, the only way to ensure long-term stability is through an appropriations process that returns fiscal sanity to Washington. We owe it to the American people to stop kicking the can down the road and get this reckless spending under control.”
