Continue pushing for the Senate's bipartisan solution to fund critical public safety functions, pay essential workers, and complete negotiations in good faith.

I will continue to push for the Senate’s bipartisan solution: act now to fund critical public safety functions, pay our essential workers, and complete negotiations in good faith.

Carter commits to keep advocating for the bipartisan Senate funding compromise to reopen DHS, pay workers, and finish negotiations.

Public Law 119-37 is an Act making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026. It provides appropriations for government departments and agencies, makes personnel pay provisions, and ratifies obligations for maintaining essential activity to protect life and property during the lapse.

The promised type of solution was enacted into law: H.R. 5371/PL 119-37 continued appropriations, addressed personnel pay, and covered essential government activities. This supports that the policy outcome occurred, but not that Carter pushed it, because his recorded vote was against final passage.

Roll Call 283, H. Res. 873, Vote Question: On Ordering the Previous Question. The resolution provided for consideration of the Senate amendment to H.R. 5371 making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026. Status: Passed. Yea: 216, Nay: 213.

The House advanced consideration of the Senate amendment to H.R. 5371, but Carter's party opposed it; related Clerk records show he voted against the rule on the subsequent vote. This reinforces that his actions did not advance the Senate solution.
