WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Vince Fong (CA-20) issued the following statement in response to the Democrats' reckless choice to shut down the federal government:
"Senate Democrats just voted against keeping the government open - again - putting Central Valley families and the essential services we rely on at risk," said Congressman Fong (CA-20). "It's time for Senator Schumer to put governing for ALL Americans ahead of appeasing his progressive base. Our communities deserve better. I voted to keep the government open and remain committed to governing responsibly, finding solutions, and delivering results for all of us here in California's 20th District."
