James Lankford: “The American people shouldn’t pay the price for Congress failing to do its job on time.”

Oklahoma is home to 39 Tribal Nations, and many of them live and work alongside the men and women who serve at our military installations. When a Tribe is doing work that benefits a military base or post, whether that is roads, utilities…

If you lose your job, the government shouldn’t tell you the only way forward is to go work for somebody else. Some folks have a business idea they’ve been dreaming about for years, and losing a job might be the push to finally chase it.

We need to take government shutdowns off the table and force Congress to stay in town until its work is done.

Chairman, really, this is a question for you. And it’s a question to try to figure out how do we get a good answer on this.
