Washington, DC….”Proud to have voted to open the government. Since Day 1, the majority of the House has wanted to vote to open the government. Tonight, we finally got that chance.

Enough Republicans joined with all of the Democrats to end this shutdown. Hopefully the Speaker will continue to listen to those of us on both sides of the aisle that want to pass a bipartisan long term budget and end these manufactured crises orchestrated by an ideological few.”
