Rep. Langworthy praised the House Rules Committee’s advancement of H.Res. 589 (a GOP-backed resolution urging release of Epstein-related documents) as “a bold and necessary move to deliver long-overdue justice to the victims,” while accusing Democrats of “obstruction and silence” on the issue.

On avoiding shutdowns:
“Shutting down the government is not the solution. We must ensure critical services continue and our military families don’t miss a paycheck.”
On responsible governance:
“Governing means putting your country first…you keep the lights on in the government…that’s what responsible leadership looks like.”
Rep. Langworthy emphasized his commitment to “securing funding for the federal government” and voted for short-term continuing resolutions in 2023 to avoid shutdowns.
