Hawaii Congressional Delegation How They Voted January 27, 2019

This was an attempt by House Republicans to block part of House Democrats’ funding proposal, H.R. 268, which would provide funding for emergency disaster relief and reopened the agencies whose funding lapsed at the start of the partial government shutdown until February 8, 2019. This vote was to remove the part of the bill that would have temporarily reopened federal agencies (a so called “continuing resolution”), leaving only the part that would have provided emergency disaster relief (House Clerk, 5:31:39 P.M.)

An “aye” vote was a vote to strike the continuing resolution from the bill and only include disaster relief funding. A “no” vote was a vote to proceed to a vote on the original bill ...

H.R. 268: Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2019

Passed 237/187

Rep. Case [D-HI1]: Yea

Rep. Gabbard [D-HI2]: Yea

This bill was one of many attempts by House Democrats to end the partial government shutdown without funding for a southern border wall. The bill would provide funding for emergency disaster relief for the rest of fiscal year 2019 (through September), in addition to reopening the agencies whose funding lapsed at the start of the partial government shutdown until February 8, 2019 (a so called “continuing resolution”).

House Democrats issued a press release on passage of the bill. The release explains the rationale for the bill and the proposed distribution of $14.17 billion in emergency disaster relief funding.

Rep. Case [D-HI1]: Nay

Rep. Gabbard [D-HI2]: Nay

This was an attempt by House Republicans to kill H.J.Res. 28, a House Democrat bill to reopen the federal government until February 28, 2019. This vote was to replace the date in the bill “February 28, 2019” with “January 15, 2019”. (House Clerk, 11:17:34 A.M.) Since the vote was taken on January 17, 2019, agencies would not have been reopened but the delayed paychecks to furloughed and essential federal employees could have been sent out.

An “aye” vote was a vote to kill the original bill and instead allow paychecks to furloughed and essential federal employees to be sent out without reopening any agencies. A “no” vote was a vote to proceed to a vote ...

H.J.Res. 28: Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019

Passed 229/184

Rep. Case [D-HI1]: Yea

Rep. Gabbard [D-HI2]: Yea

This was one of House Democrats’ attempts to reopen the government. It is a continuing resolution to reopen the agencies whose funding lapsed at the start of the partial government shutdown until February 28, 2019. The resolution would extend the deadline of the previous funding bill.

On December 22, 2018 the 115th Congress was unable to reach a deal to fund some federal agencies through fiscal year 2019 after President Trump demanded $5 billion in funding for a southern border wall. The Senate had unanimously passed a bill to fund the government through 2019, without the border wall, the then Republican-controlled House amended the bill adding $5 billion in funding for a southern border wall. The Senate neglected to vote ...

This was a House Democrat bill to reopen most of the federal government through September 30, 2019, with funding for most or all of the federal agencies that had been shut down except for the Department of Homeland Security.

The proposal was one of two Senate amendments that would have replaced the text of the House funding proposal H.R. 268.
