AUSTIN – Twenty-four of the 25 House Republicans from Texas voted in favor of a bill Wednesday to end the nation’s longest government shutdown. The measure has already been signed into law by President Donald Trump.

Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, did not vote. 

Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, was the only Texas Democratic member who joined with Republicans in support.

The historic 43-day funding lapse saw federal workers go without multiple paychecks, travelers stranded at airports and people lining up at food banks to get a meal for their families.

House lawmakers made their long-awaited return to the nation’s capital this week after nearly eight weeks away, with Republicans using their slight majority to get the bill over the finish line by a vote of 222-209. The Senate had already passed the measure. 

Trump has called the bill a “very big victory.”
