Bilirakis Supports Legislation to Avoid a National Default and End the Government Shutdown

"I have worked tirelessly with my House colleagues passing legislation to protect this country and put its people above partisan politics – legislation which the Senate has failed to act on," said Bilirakis. "Therefore, tonight, I voted to avoid a national default, end the government shutdown, and provide certainty to all hardworking Americans, especially our veterans, active military personnel and seniors. I remain committed to finding a long-term solution that will keep government spending under control, provide relief from ObamaCare's mandates, and ensure both Congress and the Administration are subjected to the same provisions under the health care law."
