WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer, R-ND, took Senate Democrats to task for “blocking the appropriations process from moving forward,” in a press release Wednesday afternoon.

“Senate Democrats’ obstruction is unacceptable. They are standing in the way of our troops receiving a pay raise, communities receiving disaster assistance, critical medical research being advanced, and our military community receiving the resources they need to keep our country safe,” Cramer said in the release. “It is time for Democrats to stop playing politics – and trying to hurt this President – and to move forward with the agreement leaders on both sides supported and Congress passed into law just last month.”
