Congresswoman Chellie Pingree voted for a short-term spending bill to keep the government operating tonight and issued the following statement:

"I'm glad that Republicans have backed off their efforts to end funding for women's health care and roll back environmental protections and we can avoid a government shut down. I haven't seen the proposed budget agreement yet but I'm going to look at it carefully to make sure it protects essential services and represents the values of Maine people."
