Adam Gray was one of six Democrats who voted for the funding bill intended to end the government shutdown. The bill passed 222-209 and was sent to President Donald Trump for his signature. The legislation would fund the government through Jan. 30 and provide funding for some agencies through the rest of the fiscal year.
Gray said the shutdown had made vulnerable Americans “political leverage,” citing delayed SNAP benefits. He said he supported an agreement that would protect food assistance for a year and shield veterans, small-business owners and federal workers from being used as “political weapons.”
