Press Releases

Congressman Ben Cline (R-VA) released the following statement regarding his vote for the continuing resolution H.R. 10515.

 “I voted for the Clean Continuing Resolution today because it is vital to keep our government running and to ensure the incoming Trump Administration can hit the ground running to enact the agenda supported by voters in November,” Congressman Cline stated. “This Clean CR would enable us to work effectively with the incoming White House, allowing us to regain control over the federal budget sooner and uphold our duty to the American people. The original 1,500 page bill released yesterday was packed with unnecessary and wasteful provisions and too often yielded to Democrat priorities.”

“I fully support the agriculture and disaster relief provisions included in this Clean Continuing Resolution,” Congressman Cline continued. “I am proud to vote for a bill that prevents a government shutdown, pays our troops, and provides relief to hard-hit areas, including drought-ravaged farms across Virginia. Democrats should support this important bill and keep the government from shutting down at midnight tomorrow.”

Congressman Ben Cline represents the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia. He previously was an attorney in private practice and served both as an assistant prosecutor and Member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Cline and his wife, Elizabeth, live in Botetourt County with their two children.
