Wednesday saw the House of Representatives again passing legislation to fund government programs ranging from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to national parks. Representative Brad Wenstrup voted for each government funding bill to reopen services as quickly as possible.

“I am working every day to pass bills that get the government open again. As a physician, I know the important work that the National Institutes of Health does for Ohioans. As a veteran, I’m proud the House passed a bill that will allow World War II veterans to fully visit and enjoy the war memorials built in their honor,” Wenstrup said.

The White House issued a statement indicating President Obama would veto funding bills for the national parks and the NIH. Wenstrup indicated that the House plans to continue passing federal funding bill through the week, including bills on Thursday to fund veterans’ programs and for the Reserves and National Guard.
