In another update on March 11, Rep. Sykes expressed her commitment to bipartisan collaboration aimed at reducing costs and increasing opportunities for her constituents in Ohio's 13th district. However, she criticized House Republicans for proposing what she described as a harmful partisan funding bill detrimental to #OH13."Rep. Sykes has repeatedly stated that she will work with anyone, anywhere, anytime who will help her lower costs and increase opportunity – but rather than work with Democrats, House Republicans have put forth a harmful, partisan funding bill that hurts #OH13"
