Statement from Senator Mazie K. Hirono on the Continuing Resolution

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Mazie K. Hirono issued the following statement after opposing the continuing resolution:

“I voted against the continuing resolution because it did not include programs that would actually help people such as the DREAM Act, a real reauthorization for the Children’s Health Insurance Program and Community Health Centers, or parity between defense and non-defense funding in a long-term budget deal.”
