U.S. SENATE - U.S. Senator Steve Daines released the below statement after Senate Democrats voted to shut down the federal government:
"Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats showed their true colors when they ignored the best interests of the American people and voted to shut down the federal government tonight. Shutdowns do nothing but hurt our country- our brave service members will not get paid and millions of Montanans, including our veterans, will lose access to services they depend on. This shutdown is nothing but an attempt by Senate Democrats to score political points from their radical base, but the American people see right through it. I'll keep fighting to re-open the government, so we can get back to work delivering wins for Montana and the nation."
