MADISON – Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) President & CEO Kurt Bauer issued a statement in support of the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 – legislation passed by the US House of Representatives to extend government funding at current levels through November 21, 2025:
“Stability and reliability are vitally important for Wisconsin businesses and manufacturers. A federal government shutdown introduces unnecessary disruptions in planning and confidence for these businesses. WMC applauds House Republicans for introducing and passing fiscally responsible legislation and urges the Senate to also pass the clean continuing resolution to reopen the federal government. Passing the resolution without saddling taxpayers with new debt, from $1.5 trillion in unsustainable new spending, is the only reasonable path forward. Refusal to do so will disrupt Wisconsin businesses and slow momentum in our economy.”
