Statement by Senator Mark Pryor On the Continuing Resolution

Friday U.S. Senator Mark Pryor released the following statement regarding his vote to keep the government open.

Today the Senate came together to pass a responsible measure that will keep our government open. A government shutdown would be irresponsible and would put our nation’s economic security and credit rating in jeopardy. The American people are tired of the reckless “my-way-or-the-highway” politics. I’m confident that reasonable members of the House will pass the Senate’s common-sense bill so we can continue to move our nation forward.
