Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon released the following statement after voting against the passage of a clean continuing resolution:

“The American people want their representatives to make tough decisions, not avoid problems. Unfortunately, what passed the House today ignores the serious challenges facing our nation and delays the conversation until December,” said Bucshon. “I firmly believe that the House should use our Constitutional authority to direct the use of taxpayer funds according to the will of the American people by following the regular appropriations process every year. Passing continuing resolutions only cedes that authority to the Executive Branch. This measure also failed to redirect taxpayer funds from the country’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, to other qualified health centers that deliver more comprehensive care and don’t provide abortions. For these reasons I could not support it.” 

Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. is a physician and Republican member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee serving his third term representing Indiana's 8th Congressional district. The 8th District of Indiana includes all or parts of Clay, Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Gibson, Greene, Knox, Martin, Owen, Parke, Perry, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Sullivan, Vanderburgh, Vermillion, Vigo, and Warrick counties.
