Representative Sharice Davids released the following statement after being sworn in to 119th Session of Congress:
Today, after voting for bipartisan legislation that averts a government shutdown, Representative Sharice Davids released the following statement:
Today, Representative Sharice Davids voted against a partisan government funding package that fails to meet the needs of Kansas families and risks harmful consequences for our country. Davids strongly opposed the package’s provision allowing unlimited spending over the next two years — an unprecedented move. She continues to urge Congress to work across the aisle to prevent a government shutdown and ensure the protection of essential services for Kansans.
Today, Representative Sharice Davids shared how her office worked throughout 2024 to make government work for all Kansans, both by delivering bipartisan results for the Kansas Third and connecting directly with Kansans all year long. This year, Davids reached her highest-ever bipartisanship record, with 83 percent of the bills she supported having bipartisan backing.
Today, Representative Sharice Davids announced the winner of the 2024 Congressional App Challenge for Kansas' Third District: Rafan Shah. Shah is an eighth grader at Aubrey Bend Middle School in Overland Park. His app, NOVA, assists blind or visually impaired individuals in navigating their surroundings through object detection and text-to-speech capabilities.

Today, Representative Sharice Davids voted against an extreme proposal that would restrict access to health care for service members and their families. Since coming to Congress, Davids has consistently supported the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in a bipartisan manner. While today’s bill included provisions Davids has long championed — such as improved pay, health care, housing, and child care for service members — she could not support it because it would ultimately harm military families and jeopardize Armed Forces retention.
