Senator Tim Sheehy issued a statement on October 1, 2025, addressing the recent government shutdown. He attributed responsibility for the shutdown to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party.
In his statement, Sheehy said: “Chuck Schumer and the Democrats put partisan games over the best interests of the American people and shut down the government. Democrats are holding critical resources for our military, veterans, and hardworking Montana families hostage to appease their radical, far-left base. I was elected on a promise to restore common sense in our nation’s capital, and I’ll keep voting to stop the Schumer Shutdown and get back to work.”
Sheehy’s remarks reflect ongoing disagreements in Congress regarding funding measures needed to keep federal agencies operating.
