Van Orden Statement on Continuing Resolution

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Derrick Van Orden (WI-03) released the following statement after voting against today’s Continuing Resolution (CR):

“I voted against the CR to save American agriculture. Instead of cherry-picking Democrat programs from the committee’s farm bill to extend in the CR and playing politics with hungry children and production agriculture, we should be providing our farmers with the resources and certainty they need to do their jobs. We cannot keep kicking the can down the road on a bill that our farmers needed authorized a year ago. I am unwilling to risk everything they have and continue to work for."
