With that date fast approaching, appropriators are aware they may need to negotiate a

As of October 1st, many federal operations have been shut down pending approval of a new government funding resolution. I appreciate Southern Illinois’ frustrations with the shutdown and the uncertainties it brings. That’s why I supported a House-passed funding package to keep the government running at current funding levels until November 21, 2025; however, the proposal did not pass the Senate. Despite the shutdown, our offices in Washington, D.C., Mascoutah, Murphysboro, and Effingham remain open to assist you. While many federal agencies may have slower response times and minimal staffing,
