DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS CHAIR JEFFRIES RESPONDS TO PLAN TO RE-OPEN GOVERNMENT

In response to the proposal to re-open the federal government, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) issued the following statement:

“Since the moment President Trump’s shutdown began, House Democrats have been unwavering in our call to re-open the government.  Hundreds of thousands of government workers and their families are about to miss yet another paycheck. No working American should struggle to put food on the table, including and especially those who have answered the call to public service. 

“Re-opening the government is a critical step to allowing these workers to get paid, back on their feet and back to work serving the American people.”
