Alford Offices to Remain Open, Assisting Constituents as Democrats Shut Down U.S. Government
Lake Winnebago, MO,
October 1, 2025
At midnight, the federal government shut down as Democrats continue to hold America hostage for their radical $1.5 trillion wish list of partisan demands, which includes removing additional protections against illegal aliens receiving Medicaid, reinstating Green New Scam climate schemes in foreign countries, and gutting the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program. Almost two weeks ago, Congressman Mark Alford (MO-04) and House Republicans passed a clean, non-partisan continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government open and serving the American people until November 21, 2025. Every single House Democrat except one voted to shut down the government. Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, also repeatedly voted to shut down the government by denying the votes necessary for the clean CR to overcome the Senate filibuster. Make no mistake: This is a Schumer Shutdown.

Throughout the shutdown, Congressman Alford’s offices in Missouri and Washington, D.C. will remain open with staff available to serve our constituents. Whether it’s questions about legislation, or issues with federal agencies and benefits like Social Security, Medicare, and Veterans Affairs, our office will remain open and working for the residents of Missouri’s Fourth Congressional District. Our offices can be reached through our website, alford.house.gov, as well as by telephone:
