I voted to fund the government. Democrats did not. I voted to make sure that the people who serve in our military or work for TSA, air traffic control, or the FBI all receive the paycheck they earned for keeping our country safe. Democrats did not. I voted to fund SNAP and WIC. Democrats did not. I voted to fund the government to keep it working for the American people. Democrats did not, and they continue voting to keep the government closed.
Here's my message to my Democrat colleagues: the American people are not your leverage, and you should not be using them as your pawns. Reopen the government now. To learn more about my work on your behalf, please visit my website.
