From the halls of Congress to capitals around the world, praise is flowing in following President Trump's announcement of a peace deal between Israel and Hamas. Conservative women on the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees released statements recognizing President Trump for this historic breakthrough and yet another sign that "when America leads with courage, the world becomes safer and stronger."

Conservative women in Congress are keeping up the pressure on their liberal colleagues for their refusal to reopen the federal government. As House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain points out, Democrats voted for a nearly identical continuing resolution to fund the government in March of this year — and they voted for 13 similar continuing resolutions under President Biden.

For her part, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) highlighted a Harvard/Harris poll showing that Republicans' messaging is working with voters:

• 70% oppose the government shutdown

• 65% say Democrats should accept Republicans’ clean, nonpartisan continuing resolution

• 62% say Republicans “will win the government shutdown"

• 55% say Democrats are “just trying to please their base"

The WFW entities are committed to supporting women on the right leading in Congress. This week, we're thrilled to highlight Congresswoman Ann Wagner of Missouri. WFW PAC has been proud to have supported her for years as she has risen through the ranks of the caucus and made lasting conservative policy changes.
