WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Tom Udall released the following statement:
"The majority of the Senate has once again agreed to a measure that would keep the government running, protect our economic recovery, ensure our military families and veterans get timely pay and benefits, and prevent us from sending tens of thousands of workers home without pay. A government shutdown would only hurt New Mexico at a time when we're still trying to build our economy and recover from widespread flooding and storm damage. Whether the government stays open now falls to the House of Representatives. I hope House Republicans put the greater good of the country ahead of politics and choose the reasonable and responsible path forward."
