Political Quotes

“I stand before you today outraged and disappointed. Once again, petty partisan politics is threatening to derail government funding and shut down critical services to hard- working, deserving Americans.

We must work together and stop another wasteful and harmful government shutdown. We are better than this. Congress, my colleagues, let's work together and keep our government working. ____________________”
