Senator Kevin Cramer commented on government funding, legislative priorities, and a recent federal appointment in a series of posts on October 8, 2025. Cramer, who represents North Dakota in the U.S. Senate, addressed ongoing negotiations over government funding, infrastructure policy, and law enforcement leadership.

In a post from October 8, 2025, Cramer criticized Democrats' approach to government funding, stating, "For Democrats, funding the government is like falling off a log. I'm surprised Chuck Schumer has been able to hang on this long. It's hard to imagine Democrats are going to allow our police officers and military men and women to not get paid. I just have to believe once".

Later the same day, Cramer noted his meeting with Rodney Davis and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce regarding infrastructure policy. He wrote on October 8, 2025, "Great to see my friend Rodney Davis with @USChamber to discuss permitting reform and the upcoming highway reauthorization bill."

Cramer also acknowledged the Senate's confirmation of Nick Chase as U.S. Attorney for North Dakota. In his October 8, 2025 post, he stated, "The Senate confirmed Nick Chase to be U.S. Attorney for North Dakota because he has the right background and experience to lead federal law enforcement efforts. I appreciate his willingness to serve and his work to uphold law and order in our state."

Cramer's comments come as Congress faces deadlines for passing government funding measures to avoid a shutdown. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has advocated for permitting reform as part of broader infrastructure initiatives. The confirmation of Nick Chase as U.S. Attorney reflects ongoing efforts to fill key federal law enforcement positions.
